As the recognised leader in Japan for cutting tool technology, Osaka Kohki has a knack for presenting the best possible solutions for the needs of clients in the automobile, aerospace, aircraft and electronics industries.
These solutions combine innovations from around the world, as the company taps into hidden technological champions among manufacturers of cutting and wear-resistant tools, optical products and related accessories.
“We find the best products from around the world,” says Shigemasa Yanagawa, president and representative director. “We have close relations with our customers, know their needs, and pick out the best available products in places such as Germany, South Korea, United States, Israel, Switzerland, Sweden, and of course, here in Japan.”
Our goal is to expand further overseas so that we can contribute more to society
With overseas business growing steadily, the company is fully embracing its brand name Cominix. Starting this month, it will be known locally and internationally as Cominix to emphasise prospects in cooperative product development.
The company took the first step in this direction with the opening of its technological laboratory in 2016. Cominix is the first and only trading company in Japan with its own innovation centre.
