As a Total Producer
for Gears.
-From Equipment to
Products.

Our origins trace back to the early days of Japan’s automotive industry.
We began our journey as a machine manufacturer entrusted with the mission of localizing hypoid gear cutting machine that were previously dependent on overseas technologies.
Today, our defining strength lies in a truly unique model: we design and build our own gear manufacturing equipment and leverage it to produce automotive components.
This unparalleled vertical integration enables us to deliver excellence across development, quality, production capacity, and cost competitiveness.
However, the world around us is entering a period of heightened uncertainty.
Geopolitical risks are intensifying, trade policies are shifting, and global supply chains continue to evolve.
In the automotive sector, the transition toward carbon neutrality is accelerating, yet its pace and direction vary by region thus creating a new era in which EVs, hybrids, and emerging fuel technologies coexist.
At the same time, advances in software and AI, along with the rise of new market entrants, are fundamentally reshaping the competitive landscape, driving global competition to new heights.
In this environment, we will continue to advance as a Gear Specialist—developing highly durable, high-efficiency, and compact gear solutions, alongside the cutting-edge equipment required to produce them.
Historically, our business has been built on two pillars: machine tools and automotive components, including drivetrain units.
Looking ahead, we will expand beyond these foundations by accelerating the application of our technologies outside the automotive domain, advancing into industrial gear markets, and broadening the global reach of our machinery business.
Amid rapid change, our commitment remains unchanged:
pursue the true essence of manufacturing, continuously elevate our technology and on-site capabilities, and create sustainable growth while delivering enduring value to society.
