The term 'header' comes from the meaning 'to strike the head.' A machine called a header or former is used to press metal heads to produce screws, bolts, and other fasteners. Just by looking at industrial products such as mobile phones, computers, and automobiles that are close to our daily lives, we can see a wide variety of screws and bolts being used. These metal parts are becoming increasingly smaller each year, and new materials such as titanium are being used in addition to iron. Nakashimada's high-precision technology dominates the market, particularly in the field of headers that produce products with a diameter of 2.5mm or less. Nakashimada accounts for half of the global share and 80% of Japan's share. Its products are widely used in various industries, including IT, automotive, and aerospace, showcasing its versatility.
Nakashimada's technology has been established through the production of grinding machines used for overhauling automobile engines for many years. While we may study advanced machinery from abroad, the spirit of our engineers is to never imitate them, which has been our unchanged corporate culture since our founding. This unique expertise sets us apart, even in highly competitive product classes such as the 'MF' and 'MST' series. Nakashimada's products have earned global recognition due to this outstanding originality and precision. Header formers require high productivity, excellent operability, and stability during continuous operation. Nakashimada achieves these fundamental functions expected of machining equipment at an exceptionally high level, allowing us to produce precision products that are world-renowned.
At Nakashimada, we produce 70% of the components that make up our products in-house, ensuring quality. There is no other example like this.
We continuously introduce new equipment to improve production efficiency.
