Ibaraki Prefecture’s “Hidden Gems” at COMPAMED 2014

The Hitachi Regional Industrial Technical Support Center of Hitachi City, and Hitachinaka Techno Center of Hitachinaka City, along with 8 small and medium-sized enterprises from Ibaraki Prefecture in Japan, will participate in the world’s largest trade fair for medical technology: COMPAMED 2014.

The exhibitors group is mainly composed of members of “Hitachi Risshijuku” (young business leaders’ group), and of various small and medium sized manufacturers operating in sectors like: press working, can welding, spring manufacturing, cutting, punch pressing and injection moulding. Their precision machining plays an important role in the Japanese manufacturing industry as these companies provide the indispensable parts and product manufacturing equipment to the large Japanese manufacturers that are active internationally. 

These companies are well-known as leaders in niche areas, but are not generally known by end users, especially those who are abroad. In other word they are “hidden gems” of Japan.
The companies exhibiting at this year’s COMPAMED fair include: a company that secured a top-ranked share in the engine controlling apparatus sector, a company that has achieved high technical ability in manufacturing the world smallest-sized springs, and various companies that are certified by the Japanese government as high-level technological development manufacturers. These companies strive to keep providing highly qualified precision processing technology in the EU and global markets to become gems in the world.

EU partners are welcome to meet them during the matchmaking event organised by the Enterprise Europe Network’s local representative, as well as visiting them at their common exhibitors booth: Hall 8a / J33.
