President’s Message

Kazuo Hirano, President 平野 量夫

For more than 100 years since its establishment in 1918, SUPER TOOL group has been committed to forging technology based on the technology and traditions we have cultivated as a “development-oriented company,” pursuing product toughness and durability, and developing innovative products based on our unique ideas. Furthermore, under the spirit of “customer satisfaction,” we have been expanding our products into a wide range of industrial fields while optimizing quality, cost, and delivery (QCD) and providing indispensable value to craftmanship.

However, the business environment surrounding our company remains uncertain due to the impact of various U.S. policies and rising resource and energy prices, while there are hopes for economic recovery such as increase demand due to the weak yen.

Under these circumstances, in our main business, metal products business, we will continue to further refine our forging technology and aim to realize high customer satisfaction by increasing added value through the application of digital technology while focusing on the development of analog products. Furthermore, we will focus on the planning and development of unique products that “fill in the gaps” to solve customers' problems and aim to become a top manufacturer in the industry by improving customer satisfaction through problem-solving.

To realize these goals, we will expand sales and strengthen our competitiveness by expanding our promotion strategy for the lifting clamp management platform “S·M·A·Я·T®” in Japan, introducing new products through new product development projects, and improving QCD by establishing an all-in-one production system.
In addition, a new logistics warehouse and assembly plant will be fully operational in the fall of 2024, and we will work to improve the efficiency of logistics and production.
In the future, we plan to add a new plant on the site of the logistics warehouse and finishing plant at the headquarters plant site. Through these measures, we will further enhance our profit structure and aim to further increase our corporate value.

In overseas markets, we will also focus on strengthening relationships with our sales partners and developing new markets, while strengthening our solutions business to expand sales centered on lifting clamps, with the appeal of Japanese production and Japanese quality. Through these efforts, we aim to further expand overseas sales by enhancing our brand image and recognition.

SUPER TOOL Group has been “working with steel for 100 years and will continue to do so for the next 100 years.” Continuing to develop our forging technologies and developing them further will be the core of our driving force and growth potential for the next 100 years. We will continue to introduce products that will increase customer satisfaction, while inheriting the technology of the master craftsman, aiming to become a world-class “Takumi” “匠” and we aim to establish SUPER TOOL as a global leader.
