Integrating design,
production and R&D,
Kobe Plant is
our base of operations.
“Creating products that make
people’s dreams come true”
Our high technological strength comes from our in-house integrated planning, design, manufacturing, installation, maintenance and refurbishing. At our base of operations in Kobe, we have a design building which promotes communications between our employees, an R&D building, which enables research and development of new technologies and product testing at a high level, and a manufacturing plant which handles all the process from manufacturing to inspection to painting and on to shipping. Our designs are polished by feedback from our R&D, allowing us to manufacture high quality products.
