Machining and Assembly

Delivering products to customers around the world, with outstanding quality, price and service

We actively develop unique propeller shafts for passenger cars and commercial vehicles, which are one of our main products, both in Japan and overseas while anticipating market needs. In the assembly of engines for industrial and construction machinery, which are another of our core products, we meet customers’ needs through integrated production, from procurement of raw materials to machining and assembly.

We deliver high-precision and low-cost propeller shafts to our customers in advanced technology, including the in-house production of assembly machines and welding machines and other facilities for propeller shafts, heat treatment technologies that mitigate deformation and other heat effects, welding technologies, and development of machining and assembly methods that minimize gaps between parts as much as possible.
