I talk to customers in Sales Department , listening to customers problems and propose the best tools to solve them.

Although each customer's problems are different, the ideals they seek are the same. When the tools I proposed could help them realize their goals, I really feel that my job gives me a great sense of accomplishment.

I would like to be involved in the birth of new " monozukuri " by combining the knowledge I gain through my accumulated experience with the ever-changing environment of the production site and the needs of our customers. In addition, I would like to " manufacture " anything without losing traditional skills that have been handed down to us.

Working for Quality Control group at Fukushima Factory, my job is to perform various inspections applicable to products, such as visual inspections using universal projectors, micrometer, and optical microscopes.

It has been 10 years since I joined the company. When I joined the company, it took a long time to understand drawings and to manage the universal projector that I used for the first time. However, as I got accustomed to my work, it became interesting to think about shortening the inspection time. Now I like my work because I can manage a wide variety of products and my work is not a simple repetition of the same thing each day. When I have achieved something difficult, I feel good that I took on the challenge and it's fun.

Also, to deliver products that satisfy our customers, I try various things to improve my skills without being satisfied with my current level.

As the deputy manager of the Engineering Department, I am responsible for the management and operation of the organization. My responsibilities include the development of medical devices, joint development with universities, acquisition and maintenance of intellectual property rights, ISO13485 secretariat, and handling of pharmaceutical affairs.

We believe that the development of medical devices, which we are currently working on, will become the core of our business in the near future. It will not be an easy task, but we are determined to make steady progress through our tireless efforts.

For many years, I was involved in the development of various products as a manufacturing engineer. Now, and in the future, I would like to continue to respond flexibly to change and take on new challenges.

I think that I can get a rough overview of the company's activities with daily, monthly, and yearly figures through accounting work and other general affairs work. And, by broadening knowledge in this field, I think I can utilize it in various kind of assignments in the future.

When I first joined the company, I was assigned to the Sales Promotion Office where I did sales office work. At the same time, I strive to improve the working environment by doing 5S activities and such. Because this company is a small and medium-sized one, I think that I can do not only what I am interested in but also a wide range of works and accumulate experiences.

I will work every day without forgetting my original intentions so that I can proceed steadily and smoothly in any work and become a person who can be trusted by various people.

I am in charge of cylindrical grinding machines at the Fukushima factory. We grind outer diameters of shafts such as drills and reamers for medical use.

I joined the company after graduating from high school and this year marks my 20th year. But there are times when I make mistakes and things don't go well. However, when things go well, I am very impressed. I am now using a CNC cylindrical grinder made overseas and enjoying the joy of manufacturing.

Work isn't just hard. It's always fun. I want as many people as possible to do work in which they find fun. In the future, I would like to make further efforts to make products that are said to be the best tools of TOKO.

I am in charge of the cutting section at Fukushima factory. I am mainly in charge of general-purpose lathes, NC lathes, and gun drilling machines for deep hole drilling.

We have been mainly processing industrial tools, but recently we have also been making medical equipment (medical and surgical tools). It is difficult to process stainless steel materials, but I feel rewarded when I think of how many patients I can help with the surgical tools I have manufactured.

In the future, I will continue to make daily efforts to create products that are useful to people and to respond to changes in society, and I would like to contribute to society by making products that satisfy customers.

My job is to process the outer diameter of a shaft by using a cylindrical grinder.

When I joined the company, I was working in a different department, doing a different job from what I do now. When I was assigned to the cylindrical grinder, I was worried and anxious about whether I could do it. I struggled when I was not able to use machines adequately to the dimensions I wanted, and when I was not able to measure well with the micrometer. As I gained experiences, I am now able to recognize that the finished dimensions of each machine vary depending on the temperature and time of day, and I am able to finish them as I want.

I had an image of machining as a job for men, but it is a job that can be done by women. I would like to continue to challenge myself in various ways and work as hard as the men.

I am in charge of manufacturing technology. I have always had a preference for manufacturing, and I find it fulfilling to be able to experience up close how a product is actually created based on a plan I have devised.

In addition, I am inspired every day by TOKO's attitude of always moving forward, such as proactively introducing equipment when necessary, and continuing to take on challenges in new fields, not only with industrial products, which are their specialty, but also with other industries.

In such an environment, as a manufacturing engineer, I am working to improve my own skills in order to continue to provide high-quality products efficiently.

This is my third year in the company. In the Manufacturing Technology Group, I am in charge of solving problems that occur in the manufacturing process, and seeking out and proposing new ways to use the existing measuring equipment and other facilities. Specifically, I design and draft jigs that are needed in the manufacturing process, and build a system that automatically inputs product inspection results into the inspection table.

These tasks will lead to " more efficient manufacturing " by shortening working hours and " more stable manufacturing " by reducing the occurrence of defects.

Through my work, I am also learning various knowledge and skills on a daily basis, such as tool knowledge, CAD usage, and characteristics of the products being manufactured. At present, I have no experience in many of these areas, but I will steadily learn step by step and become an employee who can quickly respond to issues that arise.
