From cutting, polishing, exfoliation, drilling, to chamfering of steel materials, Nitto Kohki Group’s machines and tools are used in various processing factories. TOHOKU NITTO KOHKI Co., Ltd. MEDOTECH Plant as a main factory, manufactures an extensive range of products using an air pressure, electric motor, and oil pressure as a driving source. Under the slogan of “People-oriented technologies”, We challenges an unalterable theme of satisfying both increased power and miniaturization in the pursuit of manipulation performance, safety, design, and environmental consciousness.
Our factory is equipped with nearly 170 machines and tools, including machining centers, NC lathes, and NC grinding machines, and uses an integrated system from parts processing and product assembly to inspection, packing and shipping. To ensure the management using the concept of 5S (Seiri, Seiton, Seisou, Seiketsu, and Shitsuke) at a high level, we have implemented the C-TPM activities on an ongoing basis since 2005 to carry out improvement activities. With our ability to make improvements, we devote ourselves to raise the level of quality, faster delivery timeline and reduced costs.
Since our founding, we have continued to produce a variety of equipment that contributes to society for more than 60 years, leveraging our abundant technological capabilities centered on machining.
Our vision for the company is to contribute to the growth of industry and enrich lives through technology that is “focused on you” and enables smooth operation. We believe that our mission is to grasp the new needs of society and raise the level of technology, quality, and service so that we receive greater recognition from the world market than ever before.
