Advancing manufacturing
and
supporting a sustainable society
Seeing the essence of a changing world
Since our founding, we have continued to provide unique products based on advanced design technology and outstanding technical capabilities, such as valves for tire curing presses and high-pressure hydraulic devices. In particular, our tire curing press valves, which boast an estimated 90% share in the Japanese and an estimated 30% share overseas, are a top-class product in this global niche, and are used by customers all over the world.
In recent years, the world has undergone rapid changes. Heightened awareness of environmental issues, innovations in digital technology, and globalization are having a major impact on the manufacturing industry.
To keep up with these changes, we are not just manufacturing products, but also taking on the challenge of constantly creating new value through a deep understanding of customer needs. We visit sites themselves and listen to what the customer has to say, and we thoroughly analyze everything down to the smallest detail. We value our commitment to solving essential issues.
Pursuing sustainability as a basic policy and contributing to society
In 2022, we established PURPOSE, our Corporate Philosophy which states that “We will promote the evolution of manufacturing in order to contribute to a sustainable society.” This demonstrates our strong commitment to not just pursue profits, but to contribute to solving the social and environmental issues that form the basis of our business activities, helping to realize a sustainable society.
Specifically, we are promoting various initiatives, such as the development of energy-saving products to reduce environmental impact, the proactive use of green energy, and the creation of a safe and comfortable working environment. We are also actively engaged in social contribution activities, such as cooperating with local communities and supporting educational institutions.
Expanding and diversifying business through M&A
In recent years, we have been expanding and diversifying our business through mergers and acquisitions (M&A). We believe this will bring a variety of benefits, including the sharing of management resources, the integration of technological capabilities, and expansion into new markets.
In particular, M&A of small- and medium-sized manufacturing companies can contribute to resolving business succession issues and strengthen management foundations. We also hope that by engaging in a diverse range of industries, we are exposed to new needs and technologies, which lead to innovation.
Creating the future together with stakeholders
We are aiming to create the future together in cooperation with all stakeholders, including our employees, customers, and business partners.
Moving forward, we will continue to develop world-class products in niche markets, and strive to solve social issues and realize a sustainable society through diversified manufacturing.
