Mizuho Industries Co., Ltd Company Outline
Our field of expertise
Since our establishment in 1944, Mizuho Industries, as a consistent maker of cemented carbides from base particulate material, has continued the production of cemented carbide tools and moulds, cultivating unique techniques and technologies as a groundwork for further innovation.
Carbide tools have developed over the years through the conversion of special steels, such as hardened and high-speed steel, into cemented carbide. Over time, revolutionalization of processing methods and the introduction of new materials have made carbides even more resilient against damages such as wear and shock. Furthermore, in recent years, the demand for carbides has been on the rise due to the surge and dramatic expansion of the semiconductor industry, as well as the economic growth in Asia.
Given these current circumstances, we have made it our personal goal to strive for a higher level of metal processing, and to continue to develop new materials using our long-standing and trusted powdered metallurgy technology and precision metal moulding processing techniques. We are continuously evolving to satisfy our customers' needs, and to provide them with unique, individualized products.
Our Products
Our company's list of products have always adapted with the ages: during the mid-40s, we specialized in wire-drawing dies, and from the mid-50s to 60s, we focused mainly on header dies. In recent times, the development of factory automation has raised the demand for reliability in automated operations and precision processing. Currently, we have developed our company's production techniques to respond to these customer demands, and simultaneously increased our product list.
Products made with Mizuho-loy's carbide tools and metal moulds have been used in a wide variety of fields, including but not limited to electronics, electrical machinery, industrial equipment, construction equipment, automobiles, ships, tableware, and household goods. From now into the future, we will continue to listen to our customers and strive for further excellence during our creation of new products.
