＜Message from the President＞
Futaba has been making steady progress as a manufacturer of injection needle manufacturing machinery since it was founded in 1990 with its corporate mission of “Providing Machines that Exceed Customer Satisfaction” and based on the following principles.
1. We provide due consultation with our customers to grasp their needs and supply machinery that fully satisfies the needs of our customers.
2. We supply machinery capable of producing high-quality products based on our superior technical expertise.
3. We are experts in machine production as a result of our rich experience, and we manufacture easy-to-maintain machinery.
4. We provide our customers with more than only machinery, and offer additional services including production know-how, maintenance, and repair.
As a result of these principles, we have successfully gained valuable trust from our customers. As times change, advanced technologies emerge, and digitization progresses. However, our principles based on how we produce machinery will not be shaken. We will never veer from the ideals upon which we were founded, to which we are forever devoted.
We look forward to your support and patronage.
