Company Information
Message
Since our founding in 1955, we have grown as a specialized manufacturer of special-shaped drawn products by sincerely addressing our customers' needs. In 1966, we built Japan's first dedicated special-shaped drawing factory, combining hot rolling and cold drawing, and we continue to strive for technological innovation.
Our strength lies in our technical capabilities, which allow us to meet any customer request with "fully custom-made" products. Our products are indispensable in fields that demand high quality, such as tie rods for control rods in nuclear power plants, linear motion guide rails for semiconductor manufacturing equipment, and cover plates for thermonuclear fusion reactors (ITER).
In 2014, we were selected by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry as one of the "Top 100 Global Niche Companies." This is proof that our technological capabilities are internationally recognized, and it is a source of pride for all our employees.
We will continue to create new value as a partner in solving our customers' problems. We sincerely appreciate your continued support and patronage.

In addition, the manufacturing technology developed through the manufacture of tie rods for nuclear power plants is utilized in a wide range of industrial applications requiring high quality, such as linear guide rails used in semiconductor manufacturing equipment and cover plates for toroidal coils in the ITER thermonuclear fusion reactor.
ITER Award 2023 Winner
On October 22, 2024, our company was presented with the "ITER Award Commemorative Plaque (Replica)" by the National Institutes for Quantum and Radiological Science and Technology (QST), a national research and development agency.
A project consisting of QST and Japanese industry completed the delivery of the toroidal field coil, the most important component of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER). Our company manufactured the cover plate, a structural component, and was recognized for its significant contribution to the completion of the coil.
＊The ITER Project is an international research and development project jointly carried out by seven countries around the world, including Japan, the United States, and the EU, with the aim of achieving the ultimate energy source, nuclear fusion, under the slogan "Sun on Earth." In Japan, QST plays a central role, with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. and Toshiba Energy Systems & Solutions Corporation also participating.
