The history of Toyo Advanced Technologies dates back to 1929.
Then a department of Toyo Kogyo Company Limited (today's Mazda
Motor Corporation), it began producing grinding machines for
internal corporate use. Over the years, the machine tool technologies
it developed for automobile manufacturing helped Toyo win even
widening recognition in the leading industries of the time.
Today the company has grown to become Japan's leading manufacturer
of internal grinding machines which has the top class market share, and is widely known simply as
"Toyo-the company for internal grinding machines."
Among the company's many milestones, Toyo introduced CVD coating
technology into Japan with the aim of creating super-hard surfaces
in combustion chambers of the automotive engines. This, together
with a host of other innovative technologies, has provided major
growth for our Hard Coating Division. The utilization of advanced
precision technologies by our Automobile Components Division,
together with its expansion from its original role of supplying
automobile parts to Mazda, has been a key to the stable growth
of Toyo's business.
In 1989, it was decided that to generate the efficiencies required
in the contemporary business environment and to expand Toyo's
field of business expertise, the company should be independent
from Mazda Motor Corporation. The result was the creation of
Toyo Advanced Technologies Company Limited.
Building on the base of our expertise and experience in building
internal grinding machines, we look forward to making the Toyo
name synonymous with a continuous tradition of craftsmanship
and technical expertise. And at the same time, demonstrate that
the "Advanced Technology" part of our name symbolizes our determination
to move firmly into a new age, with a mission focused on the
development of new business horizons. |
