Corporate Message
“Creating what does not yet exist in the world with our own hands.” This is where our company began, and it remains the driving force behind everything we do.
For more than 100 years, we have built our history with a strong commitment to product development and manufacturing. Today, our business is supported by two core divisions: the Fine Components Division, which manufactures safety-critical automotive components, and the Lifestyle Components Division, which develops, manufactures, and sells functional hardware for residential interiors and furniture.
Our mission is to provide reliable support for products that are essential to everyday life. We will continue to refine our technologies step by step, balancing stable supply with new proposals, so that customers in Japan and around the world can feel confident knowing that they are using Murakoshi products.
Having experienced the pandemic and an increasingly uncertain global situation, we believe the importance of maintaining our position as a manufacturer in Japan, and of making products with our own hands, has become clearer than ever.
The bleeder screw, the first product we developed for the automotive industry, continues to be highly valued today. ONIME NUT®, a wood jointing system that has grown alongside the history of our Lifestyle Components Division and remains one of our mainstay products, is also trusted by many customers for its outstanding quality and proven performance.
We take pride in the fact that our continued ability to supply products requiring absolute reliability has helped provide a sense of security to our users over many years.
To further improve production efficiency and quality, we are also promoting thorough labor-saving and automation throughout our processes.
While we have introduced automation equipment for mass production, the adjustment of machinery, the ideas behind our processes, and the creation of prototypes still depend on human skill. Our precise products are made possible by staff members, from managers to younger employees, who have an exceptional level of interest and passion for product development and manufacturing. To pass on this positive corporate culture and production system to the next generation and further strengthen our organization, we are also actively engaged in recruitment activities such as internships, providing opportunities for people to experience the atmosphere of our manufacturing sites and the reality of our work firsthand.
We are also advancing initiatives to address environmental issues, an essential theme in modern manufacturing. Through efforts such as obtaining ISO 14001 certification at our factories, we will continue to pursue a form of manufacturing that coexists with nature.
As times change, we face many challenges, including the shift toward electric vehicles and the decline in new housing starts. We see this period as a time of transition, and we will continue to take on new challenges.
We are also accelerating our expansion into fields beyond conventional boundaries, including product development through industry-academia collaboration and the development of products that make use of discarded materials. Our continuously refined technologies and products are no longer limited to BtoB markets.
Through information sharing on social media and YouTube, as well as direct sales on Amazon, our products are also reaching individual customers.
Although we are not a large corporation, we have accumulated extensive expertise based on metal processing, as well as the united strength of a broad network of partner companies. By bringing these strengths together, preserving our 100-year tradition, and applying and circulating the technologies we have cultivated across borders and fields, we aim to build new pillars for the next 100 years.
