Message from the President

Pride of 50 years old sensor company and the challenge of further growth

Since our founding in 1967, we have been active as a sensor manufacturer for more than half a century. We produce high-quality sensors with advanced technology and flexible response capabilities based on extensive experience. We have earned a high level of trust from the market by responding to the diversified needs of our customers due to changes in society and the times.

Our sensors serve as the “five senses” of animals and are used in many situations. In an era where everything in the world, not just electronic devices, is connected to the Internet, the importance of sensors is increasing. In the future, the demand for increased supply volume will increase further, and if costs are reduced, the demand will increase further. While this demand is expanding, some users are beginning to use sensors in ways that are beyond the expectations of sensor manufacturers. In the future, with the addition of new technologies, our sensors will not only be used in conventional ways, but will also be used for new applications, and will spread to a wider range of fields and industries.

Sensors are expected to grow exponentially in the future. So we think we are growing now. However, as we are still a small and medium-sized company and the resources we can provide are limited, it is important to carefully assess the playing field in which we compete.

In other words, instead of aiming only for numbers, we should concentrate on the fields in which we have a strong track record. In addition to conventional products, we would like to focus on the development of sensors that are easy to use with digital processing, sensor core units, etc., and provide products that are even easier to use for our customers.

It has been more than 50 years since we started as a sensor manufacturer. This is our history of responding to the needs of the market and customers, and is a source of confidence for us.

Based on this, we aim to be a company that contributes to society by meeting the expectations and satisfaction of our customers by aiming for a higher stage.
