Message from the CEO
Thank you for visiting the website of Suehiro Kogyo Co. Greetings from President Nishi.
Since our company was founded in 1964, we have already been in business for more than 60 years.
As a result, we have been able to build up our current status in terms of product market share and customer trust as a result of our consistent commitment to technology and quality since our establishment.
Our founder, the previous president, worked for a company that made bicycle spokes, but he wanted to adopt the technology that would be needed in the future, so he set up his own company to introduce centerless polishing machines and technology, and that was the beginning of our company.
We have always emphasized the importance of “being straight” in both the way we are as a company and in our product manufacturing.
Thanks to this, the company has been able to grow to its current size, and our straightforward product manufacturing has achieved a degree of straightness that allows us to be called a one-of-a-kind technology.
The needs of the times are constantly changing, and it is the mission of a manufacturer to respond to those needs.
This spirit will not change forever, and our desire and commitment to make and deliver better and higher-level products will remain unchanged.
We will continue to improve our technology to meet the needs of an increasingly high-precision society.
We look forward to your continued support of Suehiro Kogyo.
President & CEO, Nobuchika Nishi
