Contributing to a prosperous future for people all over the world as a comprehensive manufacturer of metalworking machinery.
The simultaneous global recession that started in the U.S. is not yet completely over. Companies, including Amada, survived this recession with wisdom and measures that were gained after much trial and error in the past.
Despite such difficulties, Amada established a flexible corporate structure capable of coping with changes under a slogan, “Growing together with our customers”. This foundation is a result of collaboration made by many of our customers and predecessors, and we are sincerely grateful for it.
The arrival of current global economic society anticipates that people all over the world live in a cultural and prosperous society in the future. At the same time, we are required to promote environmental preservation for any action we take in any field.
In the field of manufacturing, environmental zero-waste products and services as represented by electric vehicles and new energies are desired. Amada will support safe, secure and high value-added manufacturing through development of machines, robots and software. Recently, we realized higher-speed and waste-free metal cutting and welding processes by using a rapidly-evolving laser technology. We also developed a press machine driven by servo motors, which opened up a new field of plastic forming for products including a light and strong part for storage batteries.
As a resident of this beautiful planet, the earth, we aim to provide management that promotes sustainable development of society and companies by offering environmentally-friendly and energy-conscious products. Setting 2010 as the first year of environmental and ecological activities to encourage proactive efforts against global warming, Amada Group is committed to contribute to creating an “ecological environment for customers” by providing “ecological products” made in our “ecological factories”.
By making full use of the engineering capabilities we have developed so far, we will make all-out efforts, as a “comprehensive manufacturer of metalworking machinery”, to contribute to a prosperous future for people all over the world and also to become a company with future growth potential.
