ファイブ・ワン Company Profile

Five One specializes in the compression molding, processing, and finishing of thermosetting resins, focusing on small-batch, diverse production using split molds.

Five One leverages its "three strengths": 1. Long-accumulated technology and know-how 2. Production system specialized for small-lot production 3. Successors and young craftsmen in their 20s and 30s playing a central role to engage in the small-lot, diverse production of electrical insulation parts such as electrical components, industrial machinery parts, and railway vehicle parts. Since the founding of our predecessor, Lake Light Industries, in 1973, we have been molding various products using thermosetting resins such as phenolic resin, epoxy resin, unsaturated polyester resin, and diallyl phthalate resin. Our specialty lies in compression molding using complex structures known as "disassembly molds." When molding with complex disassembly molds, it takes time for mold opening and assembly, making it difficult to maintain consistent temperature control of the molds and quality of the molded products, which requires the skills of experienced craftsmen. Recently, the aging of molding craftsmen has progressed, and there are fewer craftsmen capable of handling complex molds. Our company is committed to training successors and young craftsmen, nurturing them until they become key players capable of handling such complex molds, allowing for long-term partnerships.
