Pioneering the Coming 100 Years Based upon 100 Years of Reliability

Round-table members

The company will be celebrating its 100th anniversary since establishment in 2016. Would you agree that the history of OZAKI MFG. CO., LTD. up until now has followed the same path as Japan’s industry over the course of the past 100 years?

Tsukagoshi

OZAKI was the first company in Japan to commence the mass-production of dial gauges back in 1932. The country was just starting on the road to industrialization at that time. In the more than eighty years that have elapsed since then, Japan has experienced a period of high-level economic growth and a period of motorization to help the country develop to a level that has turned it into a world-leading manufacturing empire, and the country’s amazing industrial growth has taken place together with the creation of OZAKI’s history.

Manufacturing

I am sure that the ever-evolving levels of reliability inherent with products MADE IN JAPAN have contribute considerably to the development of industry.
We have been supplied our products to a wide range of machine tool manufacturers and these products are used by these companies in the manufacturer of what are known as mother machines. I take pride in the fact that the PEACOCK brand of products represents the mother tools that support production line.

Development and Design

When establishing the standards for precision instruments, Japan Industrial Standards (JIS), which are highly acclaimed on a global basis, set the standards based on OZAKI standards. Dial gauges, Micrometers and Vernier calipers were known as the “three almighty instruments” among measurement gauges at that time, and they became JIS designated products as essential tools for supporting the field of manufacturing. Especially stringent standards were set because of this, and the basis for this was OZAKI standards. Today we continue to maintain this strict stance with regard to manufacturing, and will carry on with this stance ceaselessly.

What do you feel about the results that the company has built up over so many years?

Sales

I am very proud of the name of recognition the PEACOCK brand receives and the trust that customers put in our products during normal business talks.
Many of the products we develop are produced individually in accordance with the special requirements of our customers and I believe that the high percentage of order-made products we supply is evidence of the trust we garner through our technological powers.

Manufacturing

What I feel the most is the abundance of manufacturing knowledge that is shared among workers within the company. For example, every single tool that we process is packed full of careful consideration and the wisdom that our forefathers spent many years accumulating through endless improvements. The amazing technical skills that have been passed on without pause is what leaves the deepest impression on me.

Tell us about the outlook for the company as it embarks on a journey to write a new chapter of history based on the results and history of the past.

Sales

Various boom nations throughout the world are beginning to experience rapid industrialization in the same way as Japan did in the past. Demand for PEACOCK products with their undisputed levels of quality is on the rise in these regions, so the stage upon which we are active will become much larger in the future. To take this opportunity, we would like to open the market more positively.

Development and Design

Increasing needs and diversification with regard to precision measuring instruments will continue top grow in the future. I believe that we will devote ourselves to the technological skills that have continued to supply to such demands up until now to enhance the value of the PEACOCK brand even further.

Manufacturing

Absolutely. The element on which we place the highest esteem in OZAKI is technology. We will continue to pass on the knowledge we have accumulated up until now and continue to develop new technologies in the future. I believe that it is this unceasing devotion to duty that personifies the company’s workforce.

Tsukagoshi

Our corporate policy is “Providing products that will delight our customers needs and meet with the expectation for PEACOCK fans”.? I believe that by placing this philosophy on a pedestal will enable us to carve a path the next 100 years by creating even better technological skills.
