• The global manufacturing industry is facing increasingly fierce price competition.
• Japanese manufacturers continue to uphold the belief that “quality is the ultimate value.”
• Their focus is not just on technology or cost, but on creating products that customers truly feel are “good.”

In the End: What We Carve and Engrave with Time

Development takes time.
But why do we continue to pursue higher quality?

Because the quality of each component is reflected in the machines it becomes part of—
and those machines, in turn, move people’s hearts.

We’ve spent countless hours carving time, carving molds, and carving our craft—
all to carve out better quality.

Being featured in TIME may mean that our journey
has been engraved — both in this era, and in people’s hearts.

And since this is about TIME, perhaps that’s enough time-related wordplay for now.
After all, engineers live with deadlines ticking closer, moment by moment.
Time is, indeed, money.

But even so—we’ll keep creating with joy.
Let’s all strive to be good consumers of time.
