Business Achievements:
There was recently an interesting story about a material called fluorine resin. During new installations, we use typical filtering presses to do the testing, however for that material we concluded that we should use the machine for Anko squeezing. Our engineers discovered that Anko had a very similar physical nature to fluorine resin. The customer was the best fluorine manufacturer in Japan, and they are making the band for the Apple Watch, and during the process of manufacturing, they need this kind of filtration machine. I’m not exactly sure how the engineers came to this conclusion but the lab there loved the idea and I think this only came about because of our intensive focus on one technology. China is the biggest manufacturer when it comes to fluorine resin, so they are increasingly switching their conventional filter machines to the KM type.

Company Goals & Objectives:
Back in the 1950s, we achieved full automation of the filter press, and at that time Japan suffered a lot of environmental pollution. A lot of diseases were driven by that pollution, as well as a high labor cost. I think that is why our machines drew a lot of attention. We would like to go to markets that are experiencing the same issues now.
Additionally, we would like to go out to more advanced countries which have more advanced technologies where we could help by supplying our filtration press machines.
