PRESIDENT
Mr. Shinji Kamanaka
Today, society is changing at a fast pace.
We are exposed to a number of factors that are immediate to change, such as safety demands, new distribution channels, changes in means of communication and globalization.
KGK, as the pioneer of IJP machines, is receiving various requests.
In recent years, we have been enhancing our integrated product manufacturing system, from in-house development of inks, in-house development of heads, development of character inspection machines, and development to manufacturing.
In 2003, the company was certified by ISO9001 and in 2004 by ISO14001, and as a "technology development-oriented company," it is working to further strengthen its technological capabilities by thoroughly pursuing high-precision microfabrication and droplet technology.
In addition, we have established a knowledge management system based on close cooperation between the sales, development and manufacturing divisions, based on customer's requests.
We believe that this will allow us to fully understand our customers' needs and provide the best marking solution.
KGK, Kishu Giken Kogyo Co., Ltd. is aware that our products are recognized worldwide, recognizing that improvement of customer satisfaction and efforts to protect the environment are important management issues, and every employee will act with the aim of improving quality and preventing global environmental pollution.
KGK Universal Inkjet Printer Manufacturer
Kishu Giken Kogyo Co., Ltd. (Kishu Technical Research Institute) acquired a patent for automatic stamping technology in the 1960s.
KGK Jet have played a pivotal role in the roller coding technology in Japan and have established ourselves as a total manufacturer.
We have driven the cutting edge in the field of printing by developing inkjet printers with the Piezo Type Drop on Demand formula (DOD) for the international market. We began our operations initially by hiring only machine technology specialists.
However as the time progressed and with the demand for such technologies improving, we added many electrical engineers to compliment the activities.
Chemical Engineers also came into the fold to develop inks.
Our Ink development team is proficient in developing all kinds of speciality inks used in the industry such as Tablet inks, UV Hardening inks, Edible inks, Strong Adhesive inks etc.
We have also bolstered our capability by developing metal nanoparticle inks to enable us foray into the field of semiconductors.
For many years, KGK has been a unique Japanese business integrating the 3 technological developments and manufacturing process for our head ink system, in house.
We have been very successful in this and pride ourselves on this strength.
At KGK, the sole contributing factor of development has been our ability to consistently upgrade ourselves to match the technologically progressing times, for example, we started with a machine shop, then strengthened ourselves on the electronics side notwithstanding the chemistry lab to develop inks.
The emergence of KGK in the semiconductor industry endorses our determined approach.
We will continue to strive to cater to the ever demanding global needs.
