CEO TOMIO MASUDA
"By grinding and polishing everything, we support the manufacturing industry and everyday life in Japan and around the world."
Our company was established in 1935 with the aim of manufacturing and selling abrasive cloth based on abrasive materials developed by the RIKEN Research Institute.
Thanks to your support, we will celebrate our 90th anniversary in December 2025. This achievement is entirely due to the support of our customers, suppliers, and all other stakeholders, and we express our heartfelt gratitude.
Since our company products are mainly for BtoB, people may not have many opportunities to see them. However, in a wide range of fields, including automobiles, woodworking, iron, stainless steel, semiconductors, and office automation (OA), our company's technologies and products support the manufacturing industry and people's lives in Japan and around the world.
In addition, with an eye toward the future, over the past three years, from 2022, we have been working on revising our production layout, introducing new equipment, and undertaking a large-scale renovation of our factory to enhance the working environment and improve production efficiency.
In November 2024, we became a wholly owned subsidiary of Okamoto Industries, Incorporated, and our shares were delisted from the stock exchange.
As we advance, we will adopt Okamoto Industries, Incorporated's advanced technologies and quality control systems to streamline our production processes further and strive to develop new polishing products that enrich people's lives.
Based on the Riken Corundum Charter (Corporate Philosophy), our company will continue to be keenly aware of its social responsibilities as Japan's leading grinding and polishing company, strictly abide by laws and regulations, and promote honest and fair corporate activities that do not violate social norms.
As a comprehensive manufacturer of polishing papers, we will continue to work together to meet everyone's expectations, and we look forward to your continued support.
Tomio Masuda, CEO
