About the Tour

During the tour, the president himself will talk about business succession and new ventures. After graduating from university, he learned production technology at a major heavy industry company and joined the company in 2007. In 2014, following the sudden passing of the previous president, he took over as president at the age of 32. Starting without any handover and not even knowing where the company seal was, he faced enormous debt. However, he aggressively pursued new business ventures and embraced unknown challenges. As a result, he has transformed the company into something truly exciting over the past decade.

Pipe Bending

Finally, you'll have the chance to try bending a pipe.
It actually takes skill to bend a pipe into a nice curve.
If you try to bend it by hand, it will snap.
So, we'll use this machine to bend the pipe.
