Asano Co., Ltd. celebrates its 80th anniversary this year, since its founding in 1945.

In the aftermath of World War II, my great-grandfather established a small welding shop and began repurposing military helmets into everyday pots and pans.

Even in a time when there was nothing, he relied on skill, grit, and ingenuity to create new value and serve the customers right in front of him. That spirit is our origin and the unshakable strength that has been passed down through generations.

Today, we focus on sheet-metal prototyping and development support, while also expanding into resin technologies from mold making to molding. We continue to explore new possibilities in manufacturing. In addition, through engineering dispatch and technical support, we stand shoulder to shoulder with our customers—delivering value directly tied to results in speed, quality, and cost.

Our mission is clear:“To contribute to our customers’ success by creating products that exceed their needs, to pursue both the material and emotional well-being of all employees, and to serve the development of society.”

We embrace our customers’ goals and aspirations as our own, and act as a true partner in bringing them to life. From Japan to the world, we continue to take on challenges through manufacturing. Along this journey, each of our employees grows in both spirit and livelihood, enabling us to build a resilient company trusted by local communities.

We are committed to creating an environment where every employee can work with pride, mutual respect, and peace of mind—an organization where people can say with confidence, “I would recommend my own children to join.”

While we actively adopt evolving technologies, we also carry forward the values cherished by those before us—human intuition, skills, and craftsmanship—organizing them into systems to be inherited, refined, and strengthened for the next generation. Above all, we will never forget to face our customers with sincerity and integrity.Rooted in our community and built on 80 years of history, Asano is evolving as a prototype development partner aiming for world-class standards. And just as my great-grandfather once did, we’ll keep moving forward—with sincerity, grit, and the pride of never backing down—creating lasting value for our customers and for society.
