■Main Business Activities

Car body products

Precision-pressed products

We provide the car body structural parts that determine basic vehicle performance. For an optimal structure, all the parts are considered together as a system. Light vehicle weight along with safety is achieved through increased use of HTSS.

Platform parts; body frame parts; fuel-related parts, including gasoline tanks; chassis parts; dies for pressing; welding equipment and jigs

Our precision transmission parts are made to exacting, world-class standards. Along with precision, they meet demands for light weight and durability. Our original UFP (Unipres Fine Press) technology enables wider use of pressing for precision parts.

Automatic transmission parts; drive motor parts; four-wheel drive transfer parts; dies for pressing; welding equipment and jigs

Plastic-pressed products

Use of plastic for body parts, which must be strong and durable, greatly contributes to reducing vehicle weight. Our original technology achieves far greater productivity than conventional injection molding.

Exterior and interior trim parts; structural body parts; dies for pressing; welding equipment and jigs
