Challenging new market based
on highly reputed technology
Miyaki Co., Ltd., has met a variety of different needs for anodizing as an expert in surface treatment technology.
In particular, Kashima Coat is a lubricated anodizing that we independently developed and has been highly rated by customers seeking a hard anodizing with a lubricating property and who place importance on design as the one and only solution.
Kashima Coat most appropriately meets the need for enhancing the sliding property of the suspensions of motocross bikes used under very demanding conditions.
This is just a typical example, and we have mainly handled components for transportation equipment—automobiles, motorcycles, bicycles, and outboard motors—as the areas where we most effectively display our strength.
Although our way of doing business will remain unchanged in the future, our current focus is on the important theme of proactively accepting the challenge of opening new markets and creating additional value with proprietary technology.
Enhancing sensitivity to information as
we move into cutting-edge fields
The healthcare field is one such field.
We are proposing Kashima Coat to meet the needs of adding a lubricating property to the *******.
In addition, Miyaki technology can also be used in the actuators that play an important role in mechatronics, and we are entering cutting-edge industries that lead the era, such as energy (hydrogen-related fuel cells), next-generation mobility (drone components), and aviation.
Surface treatment technology companies cannot exist alone.
We consider it important to try to share information on a routine basis and enhance the sensitivity of our antenna so that we can take advantage of the opportunities to meet new clients and technologically collaborate with universities in academic-industrial partnerships to support mutual research and development.
We believe that we can never have too great a sense of crisis that we might overlook huge markets close to us if we remain satisfied with past successes.
Not only focusing on domestic
markets but also proactively
expanding throughout the world
We ultimately aim to be a company with unique technology that is needed by customers all over the world.
When we sponsor a booth at a motorcycle race venue, we realize that components with Kashima Coat are more familiar to users worldwide than we expected.
The dealings with Fox Racing, the world’s leading bicycle suspension manufacturer in the United States, started because Fox Racing was interested in actual performance in the field of motocross bikes and contacted us.
Considering our growth, we consider it essential to not only focus on domestic markets but also expand to all the markets around the world.
Miyaki has an overseas base in Thailand whose importance will continue to increase.
Creating new value from properties
accumulated by the company
Requests from customers include the very difficult and strict requirements, such as a very short time to delivery and complicated product shapes.However, we have so far met such requests, which is now one of our strengths.
One of the elements of our strengths is the power of our employees. We have solved problems by combining the versatility of experienced employees and the good footwork of young employees.
The other element is our technological capabilities.
We design and develop dedicated jigs and masking models in house.
We would consider it a waste not to use such expertise as has been accumulated within the company.
I always tell the employees in the Engineering Division, “It is not always necessary to develop our unique technology from zero.
Let’s start by creating something new by adding or deducting the technology we own at present.”
