Japanese maker of high-precision machining centers and EDM systems for mold, die and aerospace parts makers.
Japanese maker of high-precision machining centers and EDM systems for mold, die and aerospace parts makers.
Sells high-priced machines to factories that order when they expand or replace tooling, so results follow capital-spending cycles in aerospace, autos and electronics, then earns again from service, parts and tooling over each machine's life. A large share of sales is outside Japan.
In one line: A precision-focused, mold-and-die Haas Automation.
Moat: narrow (process know-how, brand). Reputation for micron-level precision in mold/die and aerospace niches; competes on accuracy not price.
Headquarters: Tokyo, Japan · Founded: 1937 · Employees: 4,777
