There was an episode where Mr. Mori found lots of “Throw away tools” (replaceable tip type) at the leading motorization company Ford in America in1969, then he immediately shortened the trip and went back to Japan to instruct this staff to develop “Throw away tools”.

In the 1980s we tried to expand our technology in order to match the needs of customers. By adding tool peripherals, injection molds and work gauges etc. to our line of products, we progressed from a simple specialized tool manufacturer.

However we had a big problem with human resources because we produced and sold unknown tools in general, in addition our head office is located at Mikawa area, where many leading companies were established. “We hoped to have capable human resources with senses of pride in the company and to improve company quality.”

For these reasons we listed on the second section of the Nagoya Stock Exchange in October1982.

Japanese auto companies accelerated overseas operation even more in the late 1990s and that started exposing a new problem of personnel shortages in each company.

In 2000, recognizing this problem as customers' needs , we launched a new business, “FTE Business (Fuji Total Engineering Business)” that undertook the processes from preparation for production to tool management after line off. Nowadays, we strive for restructuring of business model in a broad context (formulation of a consistent structure from upstream of machining process field “trial parts product” to midstream “preparation for production” and downstream “tool management”) as “total engineering company of the processing”.

Today, the automotive industry is facing a once-in-a-century period of transformation, and companies are being called upon to engage in decarbonization efforts. In line with the times, our company is advancing the use of the technology we have cultivated thus far and constructing a new business model, expanding our operations related to electric vehicles.

Additionally, we are advancing environmentally considerate manufacturing and taking on the challenge of carbon neutrality, continuing our activities for the future.
