What is "Kyowa NT's strength" that Mr. Morozumi shared with us?

Kyowa NT was established in Thailand as a joint venture that brought together the human resources and technologies of the two companies which are Kyowa Kogyo Co., ltd., a long-established manufacturer of automotive and electronic parts, and National Tool Co., Ltd., a company with a good reputation for producing high precision parts using special tools made in-house.

Kyowa NT’s Strengths

▶︎Accumulation of experiences and technologies of machining industry (= Kyowa Kogyo) for more than 50 years in Japan.
▶︎Able to design and produce original tooling in house.
▶︎Thai staffs who have acquired Japanese technical skills through training in Japan.
▶︎Bringing in Japanese precision machines such as CNC Auto Lathe, NC Lathe and Machining Center.

"We undertake not only precision machining parts for automobiles, which is Thailand's main product, but also precision machining of difficult-to-cut materials and parts with complicated shapes that cannot be machined by other companies. We have the equipment and technology to produce precision parts in any field. We are also confident in grinding of metal parts that require high strength and precise dimension" said Mr. Morozumi.

Kyowa NT’s business development in the future

The economic downturn caused by COVID-19 has spread to the Thai automotive industry, and Kyowa NT, which manufactures automotive parts, has been greatly affected.

However, the business performance, which dropped sharply from April to June 2020, has recovered 100% in November 2020 and the factory is back to full operation.

Comment from Mr. Morozumi, President
"I would like to take on the challenge of expanding business in various fields in line with the changing times and looking to move towards medical and aerospace-related fields as a business from five to ten years from now."

Comment from Ms Emiko, Manager
“We have many experienced Japanese engineers and highly-skilled Thai staffs in our team. We send Thai staffs to Japan for a training to learn Japan’s way of working and advanced technologies. Besides the automotive industry, we support production of all precision parts."

Kyowa NT is expanding its borderless business development beyond the Thai automotive industry as they are likely to receive large orders of metal parts from an Indian company.

“For companies that have manufacturing bases in ASEAN countries and are looking for a support in production of precision machining parts, please feel free to contact us. (Mr. Morozumi, President)"
