machinery for industrial use.
1960 We became a subcontract factory of Koyo Seiko Takamatsu factory and began turning ball bearing parts.
In addition, we gradually decreased our production of internal combustion engines.
1961 We became a stock company with a total value of 5 million JPY, and Kanematsu Yamada was nominated
as company president.
1965 Our capital stock increased to a total of 10 million JPY. We also streamlined our foundry, opened an
