We boasts plants in many locations with different functions. While maintaining contact with one another, these plants carry out manufacturing and processing according to their own specialties, using leading-edge facilities and thorough-going quality control. Our plants can be proud of their facilities which are the most advanced in the industry, including our wire drawing equipment, wire stranding equipment, and automatic wire coating lines. We have hundreds of varieties of materials, diameters, configurations, and lay pitches. The production technologies that we have built up over the years enables us to offer top quality wire rope. Our rigorous quality control enables us to supply reliable products. Materials are subjected to an acceptance inspection, inspections are conducted at different places on the lines, and products are inspected prior to shipment. In addition, an independent specialist supervisor analyzes all types of data from the line. Towada Works (Will acquire ISO9002 in September, 2001) The Towada Works was opened in 1988 as an integrated plant to carry out all stages of production from wire rope manufacture through terminal processing. It produces a large variety of products, and consists of the Rope Manufacturing Division, the Larger Diameter Products Processing Division, the Smaller Diameter Products Processing Division, Interior Processing Division, and the Assembly Processing Division. It controls and processes well over two hundred parts having different colors and sizes, assembles and packages products using wire rope, and ships these as finished products. (Will acquire ISO9001 in September, 2000) The Nagano Works conducts the most basic and important processes, producing the strands used to make wire rope, twisting the strands into rope, and coating the surfaces with nylon and other materials. Further, it has the independent Rope Technology Division, which conducts R&D in all aspects of technology, including development and improvement, creation of prototype data, durability tests, and creation of rope materials for users. (Acquired ISO9002 in April, 1999) The Cebu Works started operation in July 1996 to supplement the production at the Towada and Nagano Works in light of the increased demand from our different customers. The plant supports a complete production system from insulating processes through to shipping the finished products. This new production base will help meet the relatevely short delivery schedules requered by Japanese and other nationality customers in Southeast Asia.
