History
Founded in 1962 as a design and development firm, the Company grew by winning contract work for design and development from manufacturers in the Keihanshin region, which drove Japan’s rapid economic growth.
In our nearly 60-year history, we have succeeded in building trust with many client companies and accumulating a proven track record as a group of engineers with roots in design and development.
