  Our quest for better products by focusing on the human touch

  Amid swift technological innovation and an increasingly mechanized manufacturing industry, we choose to focus on work that requires a human touch. And we place particular importance on communication among employees and with customers.

• 

  Maintaining a high level of awareness

  Our manufacturing processes are divided across multiple companies; if one person isn’t pulling their weight, the whole operation suffers, so everyone bears a responsibility to play their part. We instill and reinforce awareness of this through adherence to the “five Ss” of workplace organization (sort, set in order, shine, standardize, sustain) plus one additional S: safety. We also hold periodic report sessions to raise awareness.

• 

  Boosting interest and involvement in the manufacturing industry

  In addition to our long-standing practice of hosting groups of local schoolchildren, we have also begun hosting factory tours. We hope to spark an interest in a manufacturing career in as many people as possible, and thereby help alleviate the lack of new talent entering the industry. We even gave thought to ideal routing for tour groups when designing our new company premises.

• 

  Recycling manufacturing waste

  We always separate and recycle offcuts and other byproducts from manufacturing processes. Sure, it means additional work, but it’s worth it for the sake of the environment.
