Greeting
Since our establishment in 1969, we have constantly promoted technical development, in particular in relation to our environmental and power-saving equipment, in order to respond to the needs of the times through the effective use of our patented technology.
In recent years, we have aimed to become an enterprise contributing to resource recycling. Thus our major products are various types of solvent recycling systems and vacuum steam cleaning systems (with built-in solvent recycling systems) that were developed for the purpose of recycling and reusing fossil fuels.
As for the vacuum steam cleaning system, we were honored to be awarded with the Matsubara Invention Distinguished Service Prize of the 29th (2003) Japan Invention Grand Prize of the Japan Society for the Advancement of Inventions sponsored by the Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun, Ltd. Taking this opportunity, we strive in making every effort to produce new concepts and ideas by not being satisfied with the status quo.
