We have further developed our core technology, precision grinding processing technology, and recently have been adding new processing technologies, aiming to grow from a global niche top position to a global excellent company.
As a company in Hida Takayama, a city with a long history of manufacturing dating back to the 7th century, we have long cultivate a corporate climate and culture of being "a company that has an altruistic spirit and values people" and "a company that is committed to technology." We will further utilize this corporate culture and move forward with our company creed of "continuing to be a company that contributes to society."
