１．Objectives of Constructing New Plant

  TOWA manufactures cutting tools (endmills) in-house for its manufacturing of resin sealing molds for semiconductor, the tools improve production efficiency and stabilize mold quality, and TOWA also sells the tools to customers. In addition, TOWA undertakes processing business by featuring one of the world's leading utilizing technology cultivated through the manufacture of ultra-precision molds, and works to expand revenue opportunity by resolving issues of customers in various fields, such as automobile parts manufacturers.
  Lately, demands for the cutting tools and undertaking processing business are growing and existing plant will become a little small to deal with them, so we have decided to build a new plant to increase production capacity. By this completion, the total floor area including existing space will be approximately 1.4 times larger.
  Also, we will use vacant space created after we moved production equipment from the existing plant to the new plant for promoting smart factory of resin sealing molds for semiconductors and so on, and seeking further improvement in productivity and enhancing product quality.
