The
history of Tamara Seiki Co., Ltd. can be traced
back to March 1938, when the company's founder,
Hiroichi Hagimoto, established the company near
the Tamagawa River in the south of Tokyo. In 1942,
he set up the Iida plant in his hometown, Iida
city of Nagano prefecture, to contribute to regional
industrialization.
After World War II,
we immediately started to develop, produce and
sale instrument motors anticipating diverse needs
of the age. The business was expanded to automatic
control equipments and aerospace instruments with
the motto "grow technology and sale technology".
The technology is symbolized by our registered
trademarks, "Motortronics", "Spacetronics",
"Smartcoder" etc.
After the collapse
of the Bubble Economy in 1991, Tamagawa Seiki
resolved not to move its factories to overseas
and to continue the domestic development and production.
Besides we made the policy of being a privately-held
company.
From the perspective
of dispersion of risk, Hachinohe Tamagawa Co.,
Ltd. (present Hachinohe High-tech Co., Ltd.) was
founded in Hachinohe City, Aomori Prefecture as
our base in the northeastern region of Japan in
1991. Head office was moved from Tokyo to Iida
in 1994. Hachinohe Plant with Motioncontrol Research
Institute was opened in 1999.
The year of 2000
saw the opening of our Second Plant in Iida and
all of our commercial use production was moved
to there. After then, our conventional headquarters
has been reorganized as "Headquarters and
First Plant". The Spacetronics Research institute
was founded in the First Plant which will be tasked
with development and production of products for
aviation and space-related industries, to which
technologies of Gyroscopes or others are applied,
including electric components for aircraft transferred
from Mitsubishi Electric Nagoya Works. We are
planning to develop and manufacture components
for commercial aircraft of all over the world.
In the fall of 2005,
the Third Plant was established in Matsukawa town,
north of Iida City. The Third Plant along with
the Second Plant is the specialized base for development
of robot or car parts. The Motortronics Research
Institute was created in the Second Plant and
it produces world class products such as the angle
sensor for hybrid vehicles (Singlsyn).
In the Hachinohe
region, according to the expanding of Hachinohe
Plant, new factories were opened; Fukuchi Factory
(present First Fukuchi Factory) in 2006, Misawa
Factory in 2008 and Second Fukuchi Factory in
2009.
Tamagawa Seiki continues
research and development of three base technologies,
the Synchro which detect the angle with high accuracy
(2 dimensions), the Gyroscope which is necessary
for three dimensional control and the analog/digital
convertor (Smartcoder). We have been working,
since the foundation, to improve the accuracy
of our angle sensors by just a factor of ten per
decade.
We are determined
to continually train the strength of product development
and sales forces, to flexibly meet customer's
requests by our product quality and performance
and to grow up as a "Glocal Company"
which can supply the only /number one products.
Your continued patronage and support would be
highly appreciated.
