ODM Contract development

We leverage a network of cutting-edge domestic and overseas group companies to handle everything from planning, exterior design, product development and engineering, sample production, and evaluation testing to parts processing and material procurement; we then carry out final product assembly—integrating these processes with our established EMS operations—to deliver the finished product to the customer.

We develop products based on ideas, handling everything from sample production to evaluation.

Contract development

We use 3D CAD to develop and design structural parts, manufacture prototypes, set evaluation standards for prototypes and conduct primary evaluations, and investigate various standards for commercialization.
By combining this with our component businesses (stamping, sheet metal processing, and plastic molding) and EMS (contract manufacturing) operations, we can provide integrated services ranging from development through to production.

  • Mechanical design and prototype fabrication
  • Establishing evaluation criteria for prototypes and conducting the initial evaluation
  • Research on various standards for product development

For models requiring design work, we can also provide product design services through our contracted designers.

Network for manufacuring

We leverage a network of our group companies operating both domestically and internationally to provide comprehensive manufacturing support. Our services span the entire process—from product development planning and structural design to the prototyping of pressed, sheet metal, aluminum decorative, and plastic parts; procurement of other components; prototype assembly and evaluation; and finally, mass production (both in Japan and overseas).
