JOINED 2007

Why they joined and what they do now, in our employees' own words.

Joined 2007, Quality Assurance

Everyday products and society-changing technologies alike start with dies and molds. It's a great environment where you can clearly see the results of your work and the company's growth.

Joined in 2007

The satisfaction of seeing and touching the results of my work in a wide range of products.

What I find rewarding about die and mold making is that it's easy to see where and how the products I've worked on are used. The products I've been involved with, from automotive exterior parts to cameras and fishing tackle, can be found all around us in everyday life. In manufacturing, it's not unusual to hear, "What we handle is so precise that I don't know how the things I make are ultimately used." Dies and molds, however, determine the shape of the final product, so the results are easy to see. On top of that, there's the technical challenge of pursuing ultra-high precision.

Joined 2007, Quality Assurance

The thrill of taking on challenges in a field where even submicron errors are unacceptable.

Die and mold making demands submicron-level precision. For example, in a product made up of more than 100 parts, a submicron dimensional error in a single part becomes magnified when all those parts are combined, and the parts can no longer be assembled as designed. What makes die and mold making so rewarding is pursuing this precision by hand through machining (grinding) and assembly. There is also the excitement of tackling unprecedented, uncharted challenges, such as developing our own methods for processing hard-to-machine materials. Dies and molds continue to evolve alongside advances in technology and innovation.

Orders from growth fields such as AI are expanding.
My salary reflects that, too.

For about 10 years after joining the company, I worked in finishing, including machining, and I'm now a section manager in the Quality Assurance Department. Quality assurance plays a key role in guaranteeing the quality of our products, so it's a big responsibility. More than 10 new employees have joined us in the past year, so I'm also putting a lot of effort into training. Seeing the organization grow along with our new staff is very rewarding.
Over the past few years, our orders in AI and other semiconductor-related fields have been growing, and our business results keep improving. Our workload has increased, but we've brought in new production machines that have improved efficiency, so the burden on each person has actually decreased. Some of those machines were introduced after I presented the case to management myself. It's an open company where the voices of people on the shop floor easily reach management. Our strong performance is also reflected in our salaries. On a personal note, I bought a house in my 30s. I'm originally from Fukuoka, but I've come to really love living in Isehara.
