Ever since a design firm was started by our founder, we have made continual changes in our mindset to cater to the evolving trends of the times, eventually developing our current business model as a technical service provider and creating value for engineers.

Our strengths
１.Trust from our clients built on our long 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.
２.The business model we have developed
over many years
Even during the global financial crisis of 2008, not many engineers who were
placed in the upstream work processes of manufacturers (R&D) experienced
contract cancellations. As such, we decided to increase our engineers’
upstream assignment ratio. To help us recruit excellent students who may be
suited for upstream assignments, we have introduced internal programs based
on the needs of engineers (e.g., job change assistance program,
performance-based salary system, and limited area system).
３.Placement of engineers in technical fields with
high market needs
Our engineers’ business fields are wide-ranging. At major companies in the
automobile, home electronics, industrial equipment, medical device, and
information and communications sectors, engineers participate in and provide
a variety of technical services for cutting-edge projects, including eco cars
such as electric vehicles (EVs) and fuel cell vehicles (FCVs), driver assistance
technologies, racing cars, semiconductor lithography equipment, industrial
robots, and system and application development.
４.Job-based employment that allows career
development within the Company
We employ talent with STEM backgrounds as regular employees in technical jobs
and offer an environment where they can focus on honing their skills as engineers.
We classify the work processes of our clients into three categories: R&D;
product development; and production. Correspondingly, we have established three
groups for each area (High Value Group, Wide Value Group, and Product Value
Group). Engineers can move between these groups according to their preferences
and competence and develop their careers within the Company.
