Inheritance and Evolution: Entering Our Second Founding

In June 2025, I took up the baton of leadership as the third generation. Becoming president in my thirties—rising directly from sales manager—was a surprise not only to those around me but also to myself. Yet I am determined to move forward with full commitment to the mission entrusted to me.

Top Seiko was founded in 2001 with the strong vision of becoming “the world’s leading precision machined parts manufacturer.” Guided by this vision, dedicated people came together, and over the years we built a solid foundation in precision machining of ceramics and high-melting-point metals. Today, our expertise serves customers in diverse industries including semiconductors, aerospace, infrastructure, and automotive. This capability is our greatest strength and competitive advantage. However, simply continuing along the same path will not ensure sustainable growth. That is why, in 2025, we expanded our core technologies and made a decisive entry into the field of thermal diffusion bonding. We believe this technology holds enormous potential—both in meeting societal needs and in shaping future markets—and it will become a new pillar of our company. In this sense, we are now entering what we call our second founding period. By combining the tangible and intangible assets we have cultivated with new technologies, we will drive the next generation of our business with an even stronger spirit of challenge.

At the same time, as the driving force of this new era, we are advancing reforms to build a stronger, more open organization. The new management team, grounded in our founding values of “taking on unknown challenges” and “achieving success without fail,” shares a common foundation that enables us to move forward as one team—protecting our heritage while embracing evolution.

Our vision is for every Top Seiko employee to actively take on challenges within this new paradigm, maximizing our collective strength to shape the future of manufacturing. We aspire to remain an indispensable partner to society and to our customers, now and in the future.

We deeply appreciate your continued trust and support as we embark on this new chapter.
