Kyowa NT (Thailand), a provider of high-quality precision machining, was established in March 2013 as a joint venture between Kyowa Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (Numazu, Shizuoka) and National Tool Co., Ltd. (Chino, Nagano). Combining over 50 years of Japanese expertise in cutting and machining with proprietary specially developed tools, we deliver high-value-added manufacturing that perfectly balances high precision, short lead times, and cost efficiency. As a result, our facility in Thailand has steadily grown into a trusted production hub.
Our greatest strength lies in the integration of Kyowa Manufacturing’s long-standing expertise in machining center operations and National Tool’s in-house design and production of specialized tooling for NC turning. By uniting the unique capabilities of these two companies at a single site, we have established a machining system that delivers exceptional flexibility, responsiveness, and precision—qualities unmatched in conventional manufacturing environments.
【Kyowa NT's Strengths】
The foundation of our consistent quality and strong on-site capabilities lies in human resource development and continuous training. Since our establishment, Kyowa NT has sent approximately 10 Thai staff members to Japan each year for hands-on technical training. Many of our team members now have over 12 to 13 years of experience, and the knowledge and skills they acquired in Japan are actively passed down and further developed within the organization—driving ongoing technical advancement.
Today, we have a team of approximately 150 skilled machining professionals, establishing a quality foundation in Thailand that rivals Japanese manufacturing standards. Three experienced Japanese engineers are stationed full-time at our facility, ensuring seamless communication and providing clients with confidence when making inquiries or requesting technical support.
The factory equipment is also a key pillar that underpins the company’s exceptional responsiveness. With more than 100 machine tools operating in our factory, we have deliberately introduced a diverse range of equipment from different manufacturers. This allows us to flexibly assign the optimal machines based on the workpiece, required precision, and production volume.
■ Main Equipment List
• 64 CNC Lathes
• 17 NC Lathes
• 24 Machining Centers
• Multiple Grinding Machines
By fully leveraging this equipment, we are capable of handling everything from small precision components to large parts. Additionally, our production management system, which ensures both high precision and short delivery times, has earned us trust and a strong track record in the Thai market. We have established a system that can accurately accommodate a wide range of part sizes and materials, including complex machining and difficult-to-cut materials.
Building on this robust production system, Kyowa NT has traditionally focused on automotive components. In recent years, however, we have built a growing track record in manufacturing parts for precision devices such as cameras and printers. We are also receiving an increasing number of orders from foreign-owned companies operating in Thailand, as well as from Japanese companies that manage the entire process—from sales to production—within the country.
Moving forward, Kyowa NT will continue to evolve under its corporate vision of delivering high precision and short lead times.
