Overseas Network
No company produces all types of machines in our market. A few companies compete with one another. Among the manufacturers, Higashimoto Kikai has almost all processing machines. At times, we cross swords with many world competitors as equals and at other times, we've cooperated with each other to improve our skills. On the other hand, we gave away our small machine to meat laboratory in Ohio State University in the United States. We've contributed to raising international technical level.
We consider technical cooperation and communication with worldwide manufacturers, international view and information network as an important fortune. These experiences and knowledge from Germany and Sweden have made it possible to produce our environmental-related equipment and welfare-related equipment.
