Our manufacturing technology has continued to advance for 70 years. It began with the 1961 development of the HT automatic sizing single function machine. Since then, we have made use of our original developments to build user-oriented machines.

We will continue to challenge ourselves to create new innovations for the next generation, utilizing the technology we have accumulated over the years to bacome a world-leading brand.
