Gear Manufacturing

Outstanding Management Philosophy and Organizational Development

We invite you to visit our factory, capable of manufacturing all types of gears. Our gears are used in steel plants, amusement parks, and more!

Since our founding in 1951, we have inherited and refined the solid technical expertise developed through gear production. We continue to explore how to further enhance these skills everyday.
Through thorough implementation of the 3S Activities (Sort, Set in Order, Shine) and the introduction of the latest process management systems, we demonstrate our commitment to quality and efficiency.

We also actively hire young staff, fostering a workplace full of fresh ideas and energy.

The Factory Tour

Now let's explore the company's technology.

Before entering the factory, you'll receive a Patrol Checklist!
As a one-day employee, you'll be asked to identify areas for improvement.

In he first factory, you'll see the pre-processing stage before the gears are formed.

Tools are neatly arranged like a convenience store display-impressive cleanliness maintained by the employees' own initiative.

Here’s our order backlog management board, used to oversee process control.

In the second factory, you'll observe the gear cutting process.
With plenty of oil, the gears are slowly and beautifully shaped. Watching them being carved is surprisingly soothing.

The key to gear-making is fitting a specific number of teeth into a circle that doesn't divide evenly requires advanced calculation skills.
But finally, the gears are polished and completed.

International visitors are welcome!
