Overview

Kikuchi provides customers with the technical assistance they need to meet their demands and realize their ideas. They provide integrated support for monozukuri (a term that describes the Japanese approach to manufacturing), with a package solution system that encompasses every stage from development and new product design, through die making and prototype production, to evaluation and mass production. For forty years since their founding in 1970, they have played a role in the development products in every field. As they move into the information age, there are fears that the soul of monozukuri  the heart of Japan’s economic strength  has weakened in recent years. At Kikuchi, they believe that monozukuri will form part of the foundations of Japanese society in any age. For that reason, Kikuchi will continue its commitment to supporting manufacturers into the future.
