A Shining Beacon in Tohoku

Hokko was started in 1968 with a vision shared by 13 individuals.
The name of the company itself is a combination of the characters for "north" and "light," based on the company's desire to be a beacon in the Tohoku region.
Throughout its nearly half-century history, Hokko has specialized in manufacturing to develop technologies and work on a variety of products, from tooling fabrication to completed units.
As globalization keeps advancing, we continue to focus on local production and local human resources to respond to both our Japanese and overseas customers.

Next-Generation Manufacturing

With a core of control and automation technologies, Hokko has switched various human-operated elementary tasks to mechanically-operated ones. This places an emphasis on human skills that require sensitivity, in an effort to respond to customer demands and alleviate work based on finely-tuned quality control and automated technologies.
Certified by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, Hokko has many achievements to its name, including patents for technologies it has developed through joint research with national universities.

The Importance of Trust

Our long-term support of manufacturing is closely linked with the trust of our customers and employees. Our products, manufactured with a system of quality control that takes advantage of the honesty and perseverance of the Tohoku people, are highly trusted.
Our unique traceability system is well regarded and has received support from programs for manufacturing innovation in Small and Medium-sized Enterprises.
