    Greetings from our president

    President Kazuhiko Sato

    We aim to be a "group of craftsmen"
    who can turn all kinds of materials into balls.

    Thank you very much for the continuous business with us.
    For more than 50 years since 1952, our company has grown as a manufacturer specializing in the production of balls.
    With the changing times, we are working on [manufacturing] that meets the needs of the world. Then, we have developed our own polishing technology, and even today we continue to take on the challenge of manufacturing balls of various materials.

    I believe that the real [manufacturing] is to create things that customers can use with peace of mind and that can contribute to the world.

    Today, globalization is progressing rapidly due to “IoT” and “SNS”. In order to keep up with the speed of the world, our company has introduced a new production management system and is analyzing polishing processing data by "visualizing" polishing processing. By combining it with conventional polishing technology, it has become possible to manufacture even higher quality products.

    In the future, we intend to push forward with [manufacturing] that will make our customers even more happy, not only in Japan but also overseas.
    We would like to ask for your continued support and encouragement.

  • Infinite possibilities are produced from a single sphere

    For more than 50 years, our company has been developing steel balls,
    emerging as one of the primary innovators in the field.
    While our main emphasis has been on steel balls,
    we are esteemed for our ability to process any material into a sphere.

    "We want to create the beautiful spherical form out of any material
    just like a water drop rolling off of a lotus leaf in nature."

    We believe that to achieve new possibilities, we must constantly challenge old limitations.
    Through this, we are leading the way into the future.
