Feature 02 In-house integrated system

Through cross-departmental collaboration
We bring your requests to life

Sanwa Seiki maintains an integrated system capable of handling everything in-house from research and development, prototyping, design, mass production, to quality assurance. Our distinctive feature is a structure where sales, design, manufacturing, and quality departments collaborate across boundaries to respond swiftly and accurately to customer requests.
Because we handle processes that are often divided among different companies in-house, we have accumulated deep technical expertise, enabling flexible and rapid responses.
We fulfill our role as a development partner that achieves both mass producibility and reliability.

In customer satisfaction surveys,
we consistently receive high ratings for responsiveness and reliability, fostering long-term trust-based relationships.

Feature 03 Custom-made solutions

Development framework
with outstanding problem-solving capabilities

At the core of Sanwa Seiki’s development capabilities lies its R&D and Design Department, staffed by over 50 engineers. We flexibly accommodate custom orders tailored to specific operating environments and design requirements, providing support from the prototype stage through to mass production.
Leveraging core technologies like pneumatic and hydraulic systems, we adapt to requirements that off-the-shelf products struggle to meet.

In recent years, we have advanced product development across diverse fields by applying technologies cultivated in the automotive and construction machinery sectors.
Centered on high-precision, high-reliability control technologies,
we are driving manufacturing that enables solutions to broader challenges.

Feature 04 Global Supply System

Trust and quality recognized worldwide

Sanwa Seiki has established a global supply system with three domestic factories and local subsidiaries in Thailand and China.
We also provide stable product supply to overseas automakers and construction machinery manufacturers.

While production occurs at each location, the approach and standards for quality assurance remain consistent both domestically and internationally.
With over 80% of its products being critical safety components, the company upholds the principle of “100% defect-free delivery.” This is achieved through rigorous component measurement at the 1/10μm level and 100% inspection. Flexible measures, including regular meetings, technical collaboration, and direct dialogue facilitated by engineers dispatched from Japan as needed, ensure delivery schedule adherence and stable quality.

Feature 05 Field-oriented corporate culture

Knowledge accumulated over more than 85 years of history

Since its founding in 1938, Sanwa Seiki has remained steadfast in its commitment to creating products that truly serve the needs of the field.
Our manufacturing philosophy is rooted in a “Hands-on approach”—designing and refining products based on deep understanding of their usage environments—and an engineer-driven “development system.”

At each development gate, we hold meetings involving field personnel to incorporate their actual feedback into prototypes and specifications.
The product lineup born from this iterative dialogue embodies insights and convictions backed by history.

Furthermore, we focus on passing down technical expertise through On Job Training and daily operations, ensuring accumulated knowledge is passed on to the next generation.
