A Global Leader in Next Generation Micro Technology
Ever since our founding in 1950, we have always had big ambitions. We moved quickly onto the global stage and today we generate three-quarters of our sales overseas and half of our products are manufactured outside Japan.
Staying true to our founding spirit, "Generating the greatest impact from the least materials", we have actively fused electronics and software technology from a base of precision processing and assembly capabilities. This has led to a wide range of products, from wristwatch parts and other precision components, to CNC automatic lathes, business printers and micro audio components for mobile phones. All embody our enduring quest for technological excellence, and the untiring efforts of a workforce full of energy and the spirit to take on new challenges.
