Our mission in the ceramics industry is to create “Value” in the ceramics industry to contribute to the prosperity of society. We have the technology to “Control the Heat” using ceramics. Heat is something that is indispensable to the enrichment of our lives.
Since ancient times, people have created vessels, controlled fire and heat, produced materials from the resources of the earth and made energy. Ceramics were indispensable to all of that.
By controlling heat over these 100 years, we have created “Value” whose quality remains stable even under extreme conditions, from high temperatures exceeding 1500 degrees Celsius or to the low temperatures of space.
We will continue to contribute to the realization of a prosperous society.
Our management policy is to share the “Value”, that is created through our work, with everyone, and to contribute to the realization of a sustainable society as part of our duty as a “good corporate citizen.”
In fact, there are things that we are proud of to create that “Value”. And they are the people who we value, the technology that we improve upon and the challenge that we will never give up on.
As we make our way through this world, we will continue to keep this pride with us.

Steel
The melting point of iron is 1,538℃. The path through which molten iron and glass pass, as well as the receptacle, must be made of a material that can withstand both high temperatures and chemical erosion. We support the world's steel industry by manufacturing refractory products that take advantage of the heat resistant properties of ceramics, as well as design and construct industrial furnaces that use these refractories.
Energy conservation and the environment
We design and construct incinerators with excellent waste heat recovery, supply and construct refractories for biomass generation plants, supply heat insulating materials for ENE-FARM, contribute to improving the safety of lithium-ion batteries by providing heat insulating materials and market landscape materials that provide heat control. As a whole, our products and solutions contribute to the reduction of CO2 emissions in society.
Electronics
Mobile phones have become an integral part of our lives in today's society. Our products are used to fire laminated ceramic capacitors which are essential in the manufacture of mobile phones. We also design and produce liquid crystal display manufacturing equipment that meets the needs of our customers by using our knowledge of heat calculations and applications from our work in refractory manufacturing.
Medical and Space
The fine ceramics manufactured by our company are more rigid than metals, have high hardness, low expansion and are light in weight, and can be processed with high precision. These ceramics demonstrate excellent characteristics as parts for ultra-precision equipment. In recent years, we have expanded into the field of space with structural parts for satellites and optical parts for Earth observation and optical data communication satellites, and are refining our technology so that we can contribute to society using our technology in new ways.
