AMADA Museum

Conveying our founding spirit and history of metalworking

To commemorate the 70th anniversary of the founding of the AMADA Group, AMADA CO., LTD. established the AMADA Museum at the Isehara Works to showcase its history as a manufacturer of metalworking machinery.

The museum was opened to help our customers and other stakeholders understand the AMADA Group's founding philosophy of “Growing Together with Our Customers” and our commitment to always be a company that supports manufacturing. In addition to the lathe that the founder, Isamu Amada, used when he set up his own machine repair shop, the museum also exhibits metalworking machines from a number of AMADA’s evolutionary stages. Through projection mapping and audio guidance, the exhibition introduces in an easy-to-understand way the history of how AMADA has contributed to the advancement of industry and the development of society through technological innovations that have marked turning points in the advancement of our businesses. This is the first permanent exhibition space for the Group to bring together all of its main metalworking machinery under one roof.

With the globalization of our corporate activities, we designed the museum to be built in traditional Japanese architecture and to include a Japanese garden with elaborate touches commensurate with the unique nature of Japanese companies.
