Founded in 1912, our company has a long history. We manufacture and process high-difficulty ductile castings for high-pressure hydraulic equipment. We can produce materials ranging from FCD450 to FCD800, with product weights exceeding 1 to 200 kg. We have been manufacturing hydraulic core parts for over 30 years, and in recent years, we have taken on the challenge of producing block casing castings for hydraulic control valves, which are said to be of the highest difficulty. In 2021, we acquired a new factory to expand our processing operations. We are committed to further developing high-difficulty casting manufacturing and mastering the craft of casting specialists! ■ Main Products Cylinder blocks for hydraulic pumps, valve covers, blocks Cylinder blocks for hydraulic motors, valve casings Casings for hydraulic valves ■ Major Business Partners Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd.

Since its establishment in 1967, the company has steadily expanded its performance and contributed to the community. It is the only casting production company within the NTN Group, one of the world's leading bearing manufacturers. Under the corporate philosophy of contributing to the international community through the creation of new technologies and the development of new products, the company aims to realize a sustainable "smooth society." The factory features the capability to produce a wide range of materials, from ultra-small automotive parts weighing 0.2 kg to large industrial machinery products weighing 90 kg, in response to high customer demand for FC and FCD. The casting process employs a melting system using high-frequency electric furnaces and holding furnaces. Additionally, to enhance the efficiency of the melting process, equipment such as a sprue crushing machine to minimize input materials and a gate removal machine that can efficiently remove casting gates have been introduced, aiming to improve the working environment through efficiency and labor-saving measures. While focusing on automated lines, the company also maintains a flexible production system capable of accommodating small-batch, diverse production. ■Main Products Casting of bearing components (bearing units and plummer blocks) and automotive parts ■Major Business Partners NTN Corporation, Exedy Corporation, Nitto Kohki Co., Ltd., Komyo Manufacturing Co., Ltd., Daiwa Seiko Co., Ltd., Kyoha Industry Co., Ltd.
