Ever since the company was founded in 1934, Sintokogio's corporate philosophy has been "giving form and life to process materials." This, explains company president Atsushi Nagai, has been the guiding principle for what is the only company that has managed to automate the entire casting process, providing total solutions for foundries.
Of course, the business has had to evolve with the times, but a passion for manufacturing has driven innovation in unexpected fields, as shown with Sinto Smart Foundry, which offers several solutions through the digitalization and connection of equipment.
"We use these connections to create smart factories that focus on quality control, a safe environment and the constant availability of machines," Mr. Nagai says. "Focus has shifted to include the use of software with quality control with the customers' final product in mind."
While the business started with foundries, it has expanded to surface treatment and metalworking areas relating to engines, shipbuilding, steelwork, die casting, windmills, machine tools and robots.
