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.
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.
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).
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.
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.
