We have contributed to the development of the automotive industry for more than 70 years, since our founding in 1949. With precision stamping and welding along with automation-equipment manufacturing technology as our core technologies, we developed Toyota Motor Corporation's first CV joint main automatic assembly equipment (for front-engine, front-drive vehicles), for which we won the Toyota Award for Technical Development. In recent years, we have expanded our operations into the field of battery-related components for hybrid and electric vehicles.
Currently, our operations rest on the four pillars of Automobile Parts, Unit Parts, Machinery, and Factory Engineering Service Division. We aim to maximize the synergy among these to create new value and to continue to be an essential enterprise for automotive innovation. Henceforth, instead of merely responding to customer demands, by predicting further needs and linking them to the seeds (technology and materials) we have developed, we continue to focus on making new manufacturing proposals that delight our customers.
