Usable without rusting even in a salty atmosphere!

At Iida Manufacturing Co., Ltd., we handle "fluororesin bearings" developed with the goal of reducing maintenance frequency during long-term use without lubricants under harsh operating conditions, primarily using fluororesin (PTFE) as the main material. They can be used in extreme environments, such as high temperatures above 200 degrees and strong acids or strong alkalis. 【Features】 ■ Rust-free ■ Resistant to chemicals and heat ■ Achieves lightweight and low torque *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

• Plastic bearings

Now available with great reviews! Introducing resin bearings suitable for outdoor use and sanitary environments!

【Features of the Technology】 Achieved "cylindrical" fluororesin bearings. The load contact point changes from "sphere" to "cylindrical," making it suitable for areas where dirt needs to be avoided under light loads, where hygiene is a priority, and where maintenance frequency needs to be reduced, particularly in underwater applications, saltwater applications, and food machinery applications. 【Product Specifications】 1. Aimed at creating a durable, maintenance-free, and oil-free rotating system. 2. Developed as a cylindrical bearing based on self-lubricating resin materials. 3. Applicable even in remote outdoor environments where rust and degradation are concerns due to de-icing agents. 【Achievements】 GOOD DESIGN AWARD 2020 for the resin bearing "Aqua Bearing."

• Plastic bearings

A masterpiece created by leveraging years of experience and technology specialized in fluororesin!

We are pleased to announce that our "resin bearings" have received the Good Design Award in 2020. This product is developed with the goal of reducing permanent rolling friction resistance, using fluororesin (PTFE) as the main material, which excels in weather resistance, chemical resistance, heat resistance, and electrical properties. It is designed for long-term use without lubricants under harsh conditions, aiming to reduce maintenance frequency. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

In public construction civil engineering sites, there are many instances where sheets are used as common temporary facilities, such as construction roads, access roads, heavy machinery work yards, material storage areas, and worker pathways. Traditionally, steel plates were common, but due to their weight, transportation and installation can be cumbersome. Hyper CLT sheets are civil engineering materials made from wooden CLT for civil engineering use. The 5×10 sheet weighs about 230 kg, and the 5×20 sheet weighs about 460 kg, making them lightweight and easy to transport, install, and remove, even with small machinery. They can be widely utilized for temporary roads, heavy machinery scaffolding, pathways within the site, and protection of material storage in public works. Since they are made of wood, they also contribute to environmental aspects such as reducing summer heat reflection, lowering noise, and fixing CO2. They can simultaneously address construction efficiency, safety measures, and environmental considerations, making them effective for innovative proposals in public works. Furthermore, they improve transportation efficiency and reduce labor in site operations as an alternative to steel plates. Hyper CLT sheets are registered technology with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism under NETIS "TH-250021-A." They are recommended for companies considering civil engineering, civil engineering use, and civil engineering CLT. Feel free to request materials or consult about implementation. They are temporary materials that also help improve site evaluations in public works. Please consider them.

We have released a new video on our company’s YouTube channel. The theme of this video is "The World of Amino Acid-Based Shampoos." Amino acid-based shampoos have become popular in recent years, but the lather, feel, and finish can vary greatly depending on the cleansing ingredients used. In this video, we clearly explain the changes in user experience based on the differences in cleansing ingredients by comparing two types of amino acid-based shampoos. We hope you can use this as a hint for developing original shampoos and differentiation.

New York and Tokyo, June 26, 2026 - (JCN Newswire) - This year's successful listing of PayPay Corporation (hereinafter "PayPay") on NASDAQ has provided a significant boost. The question now facing Japan's leading innovation companies is no longer "Is a U.S. listing feasible?" but rather "How can we attract global capital and build companies that align with global growth strategies?" The 2nd Japan Go IPO Summit will be held on September 16, 2026, at the Grand Hyatt Tokyo to address this question. This summit is hosted by MarcumAsia and organized by AUM Advisors.

Our company representative, Shibata, will be speaking as a lecturer at the "Mikata Project" AI Utilization Seminar for the automotive industry, hosted by the Chubu Bureau of Economy, Trade and Industry. ■ Title: AI Implementation Course Leading to Results - Learning Success Patterns and Practical Processes from Real Examples in Manufacturing Sites "We implemented AI, but it is not being used on-site and is left unattended" and "The implementation has become the goal without yielding results" - we have seen many such stumbling blocks in manufacturing sites. In the seminar, based on real examples, we will discuss common patterns for successful implementation that lead to results, pitfalls to avoid, and practical processes to ensure AI is continuously used. We will also propose specific measures for sites struggling with technology transfer and dependency on individuals. ■ Event Overview Date: July 3, 2026 (Friday) 13:30 - 16:00 Venue: TKP Meitetsu Nagoya Station Conference Center + Online Participation Fee: Free / Application Deadline: June 30 (Tuesday) Organizer: Chubu Bureau of Economy, Trade and Industry (Automotive Industry "Mikata Project") Co-presenter: Satoru Hayami, Waseda University For details and registration, please visit the official page of the Chubu Bureau of Economy, Trade and Industry. If you are struggling with AI implementation in manufacturing sites, please feel free to consult us, regardless of region or industry.
