Corporate Philosophy
Mastering Quality, Forging the Future.
Experts in Forging Excellence.
Since we launched our business in 1963, we, Okita Iron Works Co.,Ltd., have been working on maintaining a stable supply of high-quality products which satisfy our customers’ demands with both our high-quality productive technique and complete quality control based on considerable experience and past achievements.
Our company emblem represents a figure “Easy to come in, Difficult to get out”. It also implies “Easy to get together, Difficult to get away”, which expresses our thought; our mission is “to make customers satisfied and share a joy with them.”
We currently have plants in Osaka, Okayama, Gifu, and China so that we can keep our production systems at high-quality and high-efficiency with several domestic and international subcontractors.
While introducing the latest technology and increasing our adaptive ability to deal with market demand promptly and carefully, which is becoming diverse and getting complex day by day, we make an effort to keep our work environment safe and comfortable to maximize our employees’ productivity. Storing our accumulated know-how, we are trying making a system to pass it down the generations.
We believe that protecting the safety and health of everyone working within the OKITA Group is a top priority, superseding all other values. Our goal is to create a workplace where everyone can work brightly enthusiastically, with a smile, and for many years, achieving a truly “joyful” environment together.
Considering coexistence with the global environment our most crucial mission, we strive to prevent environmental pollution and conserve natural capital in our business activities. We also make continuous efforts to ensure our technology contributes to the sustainable development of society.
The OKITA Group accurately identifies and understands the ever-changing needs of our customers, as well as current and the laws and regulations. Our goal is to “simultaneously achieve quality creation and productivity,” pursuing high quality in all of our operations.
In all transactions with our suppliers, we comply with relevant domestic and international laws and regulations and consider the impact on the environment and society. We view our suppliers as partners in creating better products, and we aim for mutual prosperity by deepening our trust.
Delivering Higher-Quality Products Through Outstanding Technology.
Balancing Environmental Responsibility and Quality to Contribute to Society
“Making customers satisfied” needs both “High-quality products” and “Helping employees grow.” While we have built high technological skills based on our long experience, we also invest our energy into employee training for the next generation. We are always focusing on these three issues: quality improvement, better mass production technology, and employee training. As well as cutting cost and improving productivity, we seriously work through energy saving for a clean global society. As a part of this action, we obtained an Environmental Management System Standard “ISO14001” at the Okayama plant in 2010. We believe improving corporate value through these actions leads to establishing a comfortable relationship with customers and society. Fulfilling our responsibility to society and stakeholders, we can contribute to a better and richer society.
