Shin Nippon Koki Co., Ltd., also known as SNK, aggressively extends its sphere of activities into newer fields, looking to the next century, and pushing itself to the limits of technology, always with the needs of the user in mind.

Behind the unparalleled growth and advancement of the Japanese industry into the world's leading position in this century is the extraordinary role played by the "change of machinery and facilities."
Since the founding of the company, SNK has been in pursuit of the cutting edge technology at all times; it has been supplying various fields of the trunk industries (automotive, construction equipment, presses, shipbuilding, etc.) with double-column machine tools, an accumulation of a world of know-hows, thus promoting the transition of machine tool concepts from horizontals to verticals.
SNK has assisted businesses in their own efforts in pursuit of business renovation and profits and has won acclaims from them for high technology levels.
SNK will redouble its efforts to make available bridge-type machine tools boastful of outstanding production technology, in response to the needs of the leading industries.
We are entering the 21th century and in preparation, SNK has been pushing the products development and production with the following perception of the "Basic Challenges" and "three Specific Countermeasures."
 
 1)  As a consequence of the ending of the East-West cold war era and ever increasing world-wide spread of information, the new century will be an era of "Global Mega-competition."
 2)  The law of "a Single price for a Single goods" will be more thorough and all the prices will be so-called "Global prices." It signifies the advent of a global "low-price" age.
 3)  In order to survive in such an era, it is vital to grow out of conventional labor-intensive mass-production-oriented systems and construct more efficient "Large-variety Small-lot production systems."   
 
 1)  We will meet with such challenges by creating a "Flexible Designing System" capable of carrying out thorough functional analyses and achieving optimum functional combinations by computers.
 2)  We will pursue for machining systems that will realize "24-Hour-per-Day unmanned operations."
 3)  We will continue efforts to eliminate "adjustments" from assembly process by higher-level close precision controls and realize assembly of components and units through so-called "Building-Block " production systems, thereby accomplishing a dramatic reduction in assembly process hours.
   
The Aerospace Industry, an industry which is always at the cutting edge of technology, has been moving away from the conventional sheet-metal components fastened together with rivets to integral machined parts formerly made up of several parts.
Reliable high-velocity machine tools are being sought by every Industry in its efforts to better cope with different requirements of the twentieth century. We machine tool suppliers must work harder to satisfy such needs.
Against such backdrops, SNK will continue making every effort to better serve you in your needs as indispensable working partners armed with the above perception and countermeasures.
