Company Overview

技術力のこと、会社のこと、そして未来のこと。

We continuously and systematically promote agile decision-making, and now we are focused on the four following areas of innovation:
①Technical innovation: transformation of Japan HQ as the mother factory and transition to high profit business
②Manufacturing innovation: high efficiency production at overseas production plants
③Distribution innovation: development of new distribution channels mainly on Asia’s emerging countries
④Management innovation: Transfer and consolidation of HQ functions to optimal location

SMEs like our own are now under pressure to make management decisions on global scale. Those unable to do so are fated for elimination from the competition. And if I were to name one thing we need to survive all this, that’s change.

In real society, every time you attempt to effect change, you are always bound to face countervailing power. Such resistance seems more acute in the regions. As I myself grappled with issues of management innovation, I had to sit down and talk to every single person and explain my intent.
What I had to emphasize in particular was "what not to change." If what my predecessor built and cultivated is the foundation and strength of our company, then we have to preserve and refine this tradition. For this reason we have decided to preserve engineers’ strong pride in their techniques as a technical ideal.

Technical capabilities are the pillar of our going concern and the pride which supports each one of us in this company of professionals.

We define technology and technical capabilities uniquely, so as to impress their meaning upon our engineers’ pride.

１．Knowledge based on principles and rules
２．Methods to realize things
３．Procedures defined by standards
４．Skills built on experience and hunches
５．Imagination to turn the impossible into the possible
６．Ability to test, measure and evaluate output

Technology refers to knowledge, methods, procedures, skills, imagination, testing, measurement and evaluation required in manufacturing.
Technical capabilities refer to abilities to utilize and convert all this technology into customer satisfaction using execution, initiative, teamwork, consideration, and leadership.

All our engineers are daily refining their technical capabilities on site, with a strong, great pride.

I, too, am also engaged daily in globalization efforts to develop our company. The reality is that there remain forces in and out of the company opposing forces of change. But unless we advance globalization, our business and employees and their family won’t have a future, and I am not going to turn away from this reality. To promote globalization is the responsibility of a third president of Tanoi Co., Ltd. and this is my personal mission. We are committed to establishing world-class manufacturing and to supporting manufacturing as Japan’s core industry.
