片岡機械製作所 Company Profile

Development that seeks the heterogeneous and the different without hesitation.

KATAOKA has been steadfast in the development and production of dedicated piston ring processing machines for nearly 50 years. The challenge to enter the niche market of developing dedicated machines for processing piston rings, which are critical components incorporated into engines for automobiles and ships, began in 1963 (Showa 38). Sensing a new development in automotive parts manufacturing in Japan, we embarked on an endless journey of dedicated machine development to achieve high quality, productivity, and cost reduction, and have since continued to develop and produce over 90 different models. In recent years, responding to new demands, we have begun the development and production of dedicated machines for processing camshafts, automatic transmissions, and rotary engine sealing rings, leading us into new fields. "Unwavering Development" This is the unique banner that KATAOKA Engine proudly upholds, never to be hidden. KATAOKA Engine responds to customer needs with free and bold ideas that are not bound by conventional thinking and with reliable technological development capabilities.
