With the concept “increase the vitality of NAIGAI and Tokyo Foundry”, we started the management plan “VISION 2020” from 2015 with the 2020 Tokyo Olympics as an indicator.
Management plan “VISION 2020”
In 2029, Tokyo Foundry will be a 100-year company.
We would like to build a path to the next generation together with NAIGAI as a major milestone since our founding.
It is also important to accumulate vitality not to be shaken by headwinds to dedicate to our industry and society by creating ultimate high-quality castings under drastically changing business environment.
To achieve this, we must implement further reform and evolution of existing new businesses to create new business opportunities.
All this made us to define “VISION 2020”, the five-year management plan to strengthen foundations looking ahead of 2029.
NAIGAI and Tokyo Foundry work together for smooth business succession and growth by promoting new strategy as well as our existing projects.

Operation of plant in India
Our Bangalore plant in India was opened in October 2017 which have been worked on its establishment since 2013.
Its open ceremony was held and now ready to start operation.
This plant has 11,000m2 of site area and 3,800m2 of floor area to produce aluminum casting parts for Japan and Europe.
Temperature data is managed almost real time between Japan and India by using IoT system.
This enables us to keep the same quality as Japan in India.
This plant is going to be extend its product lines and production volume.
Building a “next-generation casting environment”
Introduction of new technology
We aim to develop highly competitive technologies other than internal combustion engines to prepare for the expected depletion of fossil fuels in the future.
We will work from a global perspective by collaborating with overseas companies.
Introduction of next generation casting equipment
In 2015, we introduced a next-generation casting machine that allows condition management instead of conventional condition monitoring, making the process with higher precision possible.
Highly accurate quality control by introducing IoT system
CG
Data collected from molds with embedded sensors between factories is managed in real time by utilizing IoT (Internet of Things) to quality management, aiming for more precise quality control.
Promotion of “new businesses”
Cultivation of vegetables
Shinto plant is used for a plant for vegetables. Hydroponics system is introduced to produce leafy vegetables. Test plant has been started since 2015. We strive to operate by making good use of resources such as heat generated during casting. We also develop business opportunities that arises from re-employment after retirement and accumulation of know-hows. All these activities are unique to Gunma, where agriculture is thriving.
Solar power

200kw solar panels were installed on the roof top of Tokyo Foundry plant. In addition, 100kw solar panels were also installed at the Shinto Factory.
Manufacturing consumes a lot of electricity; however, we decided to install solar power generation considering the environment and energy to contribute to society. At the same time, we would also like to make the electricity sales business function as an energy platform in our community, such as securing electricity in the event of a natural disaster.
Developing “next-generation craftsmen”
Developing talents respond to sophistication of new technology
Our young employees are rapidly growing.
From now on, we think that acquiring new techniques and methods will be necessary in addition to the skills of casting craftsmen that have been passed down from long ago.
We focus on educating our people by various programs so that we can grow into the next-generation casting craftsmen.
Plants where female employees can work comfortably
We also aim to increase the percentage of female employees.
We aim to increase the percentage of female employees by creating an environment where they can work comfortably to change the existing image of plants.
Local employment support
Graduated from special school and female employees
Since 2010, we have been accepting interns for work experience opportunities from local special needs school students. Some interns were recruited as our permanent employees which we would like to continuously support.
