Based on the technology center established in Tokyo in 2005, THK R&D Department has R&D bases in Yamanashi Prefecture, Yamaguchi Prefecture and Yamagata Prefecture, Japan. There are about 150 employees engaged in research and development. Engineering and development departments have played a central role in product development, and our project-oriented development system has made product development reach an unprecedented high speed. We have also established organizations like the Business Development Department to help product development and explore new areas.
Since 2005, our technology center has shouted the slogan of "making people-oriented products". Under the guidance of the main ideas of "large-scale", "micro-manufacturing" and "mechanical shock absorption", we will actively develop the next generation products aimed at meeting the market demand in the next five to ten years (including the demand that customers have not yet realized).
THK will also expand our product lineup to meet the current needs of customers. In addition, while continuing to improve and develop our global manufacturing and sales system, we will also develop our product development system in appropriate regions, including the United States, Europe and Asia, so that we can respond to customers' needs more effectively.
