Cleaning is imperative not only in daily life, but also at the manufacturing worksite. The cleaning of industrial components requires particular delicacy, and can affect product accuracy. In addition, there are a wide variety of materials to be cleaned and various types of soiling to be removed. Both cost efficiency and safety are also important.
Yuken Industries Co., Ltd., a specialized manufacturer of cleaning agents for industrial components, also provides contract plating process services. Our pretreatment agents applied before plating and brightening agents have the largest share of the domestic market, making us a leading company in surface treatment agents.
We deal with a wide variety of cleaning agents. For example, "Pakuna", one of our core products, comes in more than 200 different types, enabling us to satisfy diverse customer demands. We also offer a total service system, including the provision of technical guidance concerning the treatment of wastewater from cleaning equipment. Regarding technical know-how to ensure stable operation of production lines, we have no equal among our competitors.
With the aim of guaranteeing company-wide quality, one of every three employees at our company is qualified in plating. More than 20% of our employees have been involved in research and development, to which more than 10% of our sales revenue is allocated. We are a group of creative technicians, both in name and substance.
As part of our corporate management policies, we also pay special attention to environmental conservation. From a global environmental perspective, we have arduously pursued the potential of the surface treatment business. As part of our effort to develop eco-friendly surface treatment agents, toxic lead has been removed from our plating brightening agents for tin and copper solder plating and acidic galvanizing. Through the use of biotechnology, we have also worked to develop recyclable treatment agents and new
technologies.
