Message from the President
Since the birth of die casting technology, Akiba has always been providing materials for the leading products of the current period.
Akiba Die Casting was founded in 1956 and has continued to create and make improvements, while constantly adapting to changes. Our investigative approach has enabled us to undergo and overcome a lot of hardships, as well as develop our own die style and methods, develop new casting methods, streamline manufacturing and establish a logistics system. As a very distinct and unique group, we strive to achieve perfect die cast manufacturing.
To that end, we work hard every day to build our character as a company and to improve our technology, following our company philosophy: "Safety first, with everyone working together to succeed through technology."
We adapt to the company needs, enabling us to break through and succeed in areas that were not possible before. We build products and accept orders that other companies shy away from, and we are proud to create products that other companies cannot copy or rival. In addition, we are committed to strengthening our management and streamlining the process for our manufacturing, quality and logistics operations.
By working together as a team with each and every employee evolving and adapting toward the future and toward developing our own unique product line, and using new materials to that end, the possibilities of what we can achieve are unlimited.
