「We developed and deployed multiple platforms forming the foundation for total precision FA line construction. These platforms incorporate proprietary systems equipped with high-performance multi-axis synchronous control into production systems centered on advanced elemental technologies such as winding, tension control and handling, and feature state-of-the-art material-handling technology.」

「The company has developed multiple platforms that form the foundation for building complete precision FA lines equipped with state-of-the-art transport technology. These platforms incorporate the company's proprietary operating system, developed to enable synchronized multi-axis control, into production systems centered on advanced winding, tension and handling technologies.」

「We strengthened system development using total precision FA lines to respond swiftly to newly created needs arising from our open innovation initiatives and proprietary platforms under the “Blue Lake Strategy,” while deepening our existing fields and exploring adjacent business areas.」

「On a standalone basis, orders were ¥14,786 million, up 18.5% year on year, sales (production) were ¥11,790 million, up 9.8%, and the order backlog at the end of the third quarter was ¥19,595 million, up 64.1%.」

「On a standalone basis, orders were ¥10,018 million, up 30.7% year on year, sales (production) were ¥6,776 million, down 5.8%, and the order backlog at the end of the second quarter was ¥19,841 million, up 86.0%.」

「Our business model is aligned with the direction of society, and we expect to achieve sustainable growth together with society. As a result, orders on a standalone basis in the mobility and communications fields increased 1.2 times year on year. This was the first time in 3 years that first-quarter orders exceeded ¥5 billion.」

「Our long-term vision is to provide globally integrated FA line systems for the automated production of coils, motors and their modules, which are essential to digital, electronics, smart and environmentally friendly societies, while pursuing innovation in response to social change and contributing to the sustainable growth and development of the global community.」

「Our business model of combining diverse elemental technologies, production methods and materials expertise with the latest digital technologies to develop, build and provide production lines is the cornerstone of our global niche-top strategy.」

「Our group began by manufacturing production equipment for coils and motor coils, which are core components. We then acquired expertise in the upstream and downstream processes and, by using M&A and open innovation as needed, are expanding our business so that we can provide users with numerous total precision FA lines as one-of-a-kind products under the NITTOKU brand.」

「Our group views full-line precision FA production equipment as a growth market with strong demand and limited competition, and aims to establish a one-of-a-kind brand in this field.」

「The aim is to develop equipment as a production solutions partner for manufacturers in various countries seeking to become the world's “number-one players” in fields such as electrical equipment, electronics, communications and automobiles, and to build a brand as the “only-one supplier” at production sites that enhances the value added by players across a range of industries.」

「In particular, we are focusing on expanding our scope into total factory automation lines that include assembly of modular products, thereby differentiating ourselves within the winding machine and factory automation industries. This differentiation has enabled us to provide solutions to manufacturers narrowing their investments to high-quality and high-efficiency production amid the recent uncertain economic environment. Orders in the first quarter on a non-consolidated basis totaled ¥7,903 million, exceeding the record ¥7,890 million recorded in the same quarter of the previous year. Quarterly orders totaled ¥9,036 million, the second-highest figure after the record ¥12,081 million recorded in the third quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2017.」

「By combining these two capabilities, we will strengthen our global competitiveness and seek to establish ourselves as a global FA manufacturer setting the de facto standard in these fields.」

「Manufacturers capable of building such turnkey precision FA lines as an integrated system are rare.」

「In addition to pursuing continuous innovation, our group aims to make one-of-a-kind automated precision production-line equipment its core business.」
