The Customers, Industries, and Regions We Serve
From Arts and Crafts
to Ceramics
Founded in 1881, our company initially manufactured ceramic arts and crafts.
In 1955, we translated our techniques from ceramic arts and crafts to ceramic manufactured goods, and we have since supplied a wide variety of communications equipment, as well as components for scientific and analytical instruments and vacuum equipment, such as vacuum tubes.
Accordingly, we count many major firms in Japan among our customers, maintaining long-term business relations.
Partnerships
We deal directly with industrial equipment manufacturers, including both domestic and overseas vacuum equipment manufacturers, analytical instrument manufacturers, electron microscope manufacturers, and non-destructive testing equipment manufacturers, etc. The majority of these manufacturers have an overseas sales ratio greater than 50%, and our products are indirectly supplied to people around the world as the best solution.
