We are an iron manufacturing company that has been in business for more than 150 years, building trust through flexible ideas and reliable work. We design/manufacture molds and machinery for concrete products.
As we expand our business domestically/internationally, we are looking for personnel for various positions involving design, manufacturing, and sales. In the future, we would like to develop these personnel into people who can oversee everything, including customer interactions. And by working with us for a long time, it would be possible for them to be posted to the management side of the company. Additionally, if new hires wish to return to their home country, we might be able to entrust them with business in their home country, depending on the timing. We are also looking for personnel to manage a Thai subsidiary that we plan to establish. We plan to assign employees to this site after they have acquired local knowledge and design expertise in Japan and after learning about management.
We expect our clients to be local/Japanese companies in Thailand and other Southeast Asian countries, so, for new hires, we prefer native Thai speakers. For both jobs, communicative Japanese language skills are required. Those who can also speak English are also welcome. Also, if new hires have studied engineering at a university or technical college, it will be easier for them to understand this business. Finally, company housing is available adjacent to our manufacturing facilities.
We hope to have candidates who will be able to play an active role in key local positions in the future.

Business Content

Our company was founded in 1865 and has been in business in Kochi prefecture, Japan for over 150 years. our main business involves the design/manufacturing of molds for secondary concrete products, known as "precast concrete," such as gutters and revetment blocks, along with the design/manufacturing of machinery and equipment for the production of secondary concrete products.
to meet the demand for concrete products, which are becoming more diverse every year, we continue to research & develop labor-saving and efficient molds, and we receive orders from secondary concrete product manufacturers throughout Japan. the environmentally friendly concrete revetment blocks developed by our company, which, for example, have been installed in the Shimanto river, a clear stream in our home base of Kochi prefecture, have been selected to be used for a Japan international cooperation agency (JICA) project. currently, we have signed a local sales contract with a Thai company for the same product and are proceeding with a plan to construct a seawall in the northeastern part of Thailand. our goal in the future is to establish a local subsidiary in Thailand by the end of 2025, with the aim of disseminating our products nationwide, as well as in Vietnam and other countries in southeast Asia.
