Message from Company

人の誠実さと向上心が
見えざる技術を成長させる

Since our company was founded in 1946, we have been doing the precision machining as a main business.
Looking back our business, machines and products have changed with the time, but we have inherited universal values from generation to generation.
It is the philosophy that "sincerity" and "ambition" develop invisible technologies and skills.
Now is the time when we change ourselves in the age of globalization. So we satisfy our customers' expectations and trust by building our own "Monozukuri" (manufacturing).

President Daisuke Sone

Philosophy

We work harder and harder to make our life richer and happier.

As a town factory in Hamamatsu City, one of the world's largest industrial clusters, we have earned the patronage of our customers for over 75 years.
