Announcement of Takagi Metal Co., Ltd. Exhibiting at Nagoya Manufacturing World <April 11-13>

We present examples of Takagi Metal's plating processes, such as "partial plating" that improves precision and efficiency, and "hard gold plating" with several times the hardness of pure gold plating!

Takagi Metal supports processing with advanced plating technology consistently from prototyping to small-scale production and mass production. We do not refuse orders simply because the lot size is small. We pursue technologies that enhance the functions our customers seek and respond quickly with plating processes suitable for the materials and applications. ● I want to prototype plating for industrial parts. ● I want plating processing for single items or small to medium lots. ● I want composite plating processing or hard gold plating processing. ● I want partial plating processing or decorative gold plating processing. If you have any concerns like these, please feel free to contact us. Additionally, we are currently offering examples of plating we have conducted as a gift! For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or contact us.

• Plating Equipment

Requests from a single point are also welcome! Even for parts plating like lead frames, we achieve short delivery times with our prototype-only line.

Takagi Metal specializes in processing using advanced plating technology. By establishing a "prototype dedicated line," we can accommodate requests for prototypes starting from a single piece. We do not decline orders simply due to small lot sizes. 【Features】 ● Comprehensive support from prototype plating products to small-scale production and mass production ● Achieving short delivery times for partial plating, such as lead frames, with the prototype dedicated line ● Capable of plating processing with materials such as gold, silver, nickel, copper, and tin, in forms like hoops, strips, and barrels ● High cost-performance prototype proposals tailored to needs from small to medium quantities ● We respond to all customer requests with advanced processing techniques cultivated through the processing of traditional crafts in Kyoto and thorough quality control. *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

• Plating Equipment

A team of professionals in plating processing that responds with high technical skills! Creating a shine from another dimension.

Takagi Metal Co., Ltd. specializes in advanced plating technology, utilizing skills developed through plating complex shapes such as Buddhist statues, Buddhist implements, and traditional crafts. We control the composition and thickness of plating on tiny parts and intricate shapes to deposit any desired metal. We are capable of processing not only complex shapes but also tiny components the size of a fingertip, as well as crafts that can be several meters long. 【Features】 - High technical skills of "modern master craftsmen" cultivated in Kyoto - Detailed responses to diverse needs for small quantities and short delivery times - Proposals and implementation of excellent surface treatment technologies - Support for high-difficulty prototypes - Broad support for processing needs in industrial products For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.

• Surface treatment contract service

Achieving masking processes that balance precision and efficiency! Capable of handling products with complex shapes.

In the case of "partial plating," where surface treatment is performed partially to enhance functionality and efficiency, the task of removing the masking solution after plating can be quite challenging, leading many to avoid partial plating. Our company develops jigs tailored to the shape of the product to prevent issues such as the treatment solution mixing inside the masking and eroding the material due to defects in the masking process. This allows us to perform masking treatment that balances precision and efficiency, accommodating products of any complex shape. 【Features】 ■ Development of jigs suited to the product's shape ■ Masking treatment that balances precision and efficiency ■ Capable of handling products of any shape *For more details, please refer to the catalog or feel free to contact us.

Recently, we held technical training sessions for the MilkoScan FT3 at five locations nationwide. In this training, we provided a wide range of useful information for operating the equipment, including explanations of the principles and structure of the device, how to create measurement products, daily maintenance, and how to respond to issues when they arise. Additionally, this year we introduced new methods for utilizing digital services (such as FossCalibrator and IQX) and also prepared hands-on sessions where participants could experience operating the equipment using a PC. Thank you to everyone who participated. Please feel free to contact us with any questions after the training. ------- At Foss Japan, in addition to training sessions and workshops to ensure you can use our equipment with confidence, we hold many events throughout the year. In seminars and open houses tailored to specific industries and analytical techniques, we showcase Foss's latest analytical solutions. -------

[Lecturers] EY Strategy and Consulting Co., Ltd. Infrastructure Advisory Partner Kenichiro Fukuda Strategy Partner Ken Fujiyama Infrastructure Advisory Director Takashi Matsumura [Key Lecture Content] The water supply and sewage business is facing structural challenges such as facility aging, a shortage of workforce, and a decrease in revenue due to population decline. The government is promoting the introduction of Water PPPs, regional consolidation, and the digital transformation of water supply and sewage systems, marking a significant turning point in the way these businesses are operated. This change is expanding business opportunities for private companies in various areas, including operation and maintenance, pipeline renewal, digital technology, and the utilization of smart meters and data. Additionally, as a means of expanding business domains and enhancing competitiveness, there has been an increase in capital and operational partnerships and M&A between companies, leading to industry restructuring. In this seminar, based on the latest trends in policy and the market, we will introduce business strategies for private companies to enter and expand in the water supply and sewage market, including the use of M&A and capital operational partnerships, drawing on achievements from both public and private support.
