Ever since starting up our business, we have been dedicating ourselves to research on electroforming.
“Electroforming. This is our mission.” This decision has encouraged ourselves to develop molding tools taking advantage of our electroforming. As a result we have cultivated new markets for various electroforming applications, which are working for good of the public. That delights us and overwhelms us with gratitude.
Porous Nickel is now used worldwide for Female Vacuum Thermoforming tools. We anticipate Super Porous Nickel will more often be applied to blow molding tools and injection molding tools. Perforated Nickel builds lots of molding tools to recycle polyurethane foam from scrapped cars. Mesh Pold will be integrated into the system with a molding machine to recycle waste paper.
In all ages, human create things. With our employees, I wish to nurture dreams, and I think of people’s well-being and create things to accomplish those dreams one by one to meet our social responsibilities.
MADE IN NAGOYA
“MADE IN NAGOYA” is a three-year project launched in 2002 with the aim of to identifying small and medium-size manufacturing companies of the Nagoya Region, that are proud of their unique and top-notch technologies, and introducing them to the rest of Japan and overseas.
We received 75, 77, and 87 applications in 2002, 2003, and 2004 respectively from small and medium sized manufacturing companies based in the Nagoya region. Among them 12, 14, and 15 companies were selected for the honor as the ones which have the qualities of being an image leader of the “MADE IN NAGOYA” Project as well as meeting the following requirements.
(1) Unique, difficult-to-mimic technologies/business models that are the company’s core competence
(2) High market share in specific fields, products and technologies
(3) Superior workmanship and expertise
* The Nagoya Region (Greater Nagoya) refers to the economic zone encompassing Aichi, Gifu and Mie Prefectures, with Nagoya City as the center; this grouping is not based on the regional administrative divisions. In Japan, the Nagoya Region is often referred to as the Tokai Region or the Chubu Region. In the project title the term “NAGOYA” is consistently used, since in many foreign countries core city names are commonly used to describe cities and their surrounding regions.

Certified as “300 of Japan’s Vibrant
Monozukuri (Manufacturing) SMEs”
Based on our information including their highly developed technology, impact of their technology on people’s lives and economic activities as well as their international contributions, those 300 SMEs are selected out of a number of SMEs after consideration and case studies by subcommission (chairman: Hiroyuki Itami, professor of Hitotsubashi University Graduate School of Commerce and Management) of Business Support Department, SME Policy Making Council.
There are many tech-rich SMEs whose technologies are not open to the public and not highly recognized. These 300 are selected on the basis above, which means they are handful listed here of those who support Japanese future from coast to coast.
