Message from the President
With the mission of “continuing to convey temperature accurately”, we have continued to move forward together with society. Thanks to you, we were able to celebrate our 60th anniversary on May 27, 2015. We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to all of our customers and other related parties for their support and patronage.
Over the past 60 years, our company has been in line with the development of the Japanese economy and industry, and we have tried in a small way to grow the temperature measurement field. In recent years, with the rapid globalization of the world economy, the technology required for temperature measurement has become more advanced and sophisticated on a global scale in order to contribute to the resolution of energy and environmental problems and the development of industry and science and technology.
In the midst of such changes in the global business environment, we return to our starting point as an integrated manufacturer of temperature sensors, constantly pursue new technologies and aim to provide traceable and highly reliable products globally, so that we can “continue to accurately convey temperature” even in harsh environments.
We sincerely ask for your continued patronage and support.
Kensuke Noritake, President and Representative Director
