Our strengths
Kameyama Casting manufactures various products ranging from automobile parts to jet plane parts for domestic and overseas customers. Our goal is to “manufacture high-quality products at low cost and in a short period of time” for our customers. By establishing a coherent production system from design to casting and transport for delivery, we have overcome three hurdles described above. We have realized ideal manufacturing.
The first runner taking a lead over competitors
by utilizing advantages of “quick, skilled, low price
Kameyama Casting, a casting company was established in 1946. The company manufactures various products ranging from parts of automobiles to parts of liquid crystal devices and jet planes for domestic and overseas customers.
During economic swings, we sometimes faced harsh times. For this reason, the whole staff worked together and thoroughly pursued what customers really demanded. Now we have arrived at the answer; that is three special focuses of “quick,” “skilled,” and “low-priced.”
Kameyama Casting’s policy 1. “Quick” ? top-level quick delivery in the industry-
At the time of establishment, Kameyama Casting manufactured general casting products. In 1982, the company entered into the field of full mold casting of press molds for automobiles. Today automobile-related parts account for about 80% of our sales. Since an automobile consists of various parts, delayed delivery of one part results in stop of the production line. In order to avoid such risk, we promise our customers quick delivery of ordered products wherever possible.
There are two major reasons that enable us to achieve quick delivery. One is that we have adopted an integrated manufacturing system from mold design to casting manufacturing. The other is that we operate through the weekend. We meet the needs of customers with a sense of responsibility for “strictly keeping delivery date.”
Kameyama Casting’s policy 2. “skilled” ? high quality achieved
by accumulated technologies -
You may worry about the quality of products delivered in a short period of time. There is no need to worry. The big advantage of Kameyama Casting is technologies accumulated from the time of establishment. In particular, we introduced 3D CAD/CAM in 2002 and total of 16 technical experts (10 Japanese experts and 6 foreign experts) are engaged in the operation whose scale and quality are top level in the industry.
Furthermore, in order to produce high-quality casting, we adjust ingredients at the element level. While we have promoted mechanization in order to prevent human error, we keep visual check by human for some processes. “Our product quality” is created from our special focus on quality control.
Kameyama Casting’s policy 3. “low-priced”
? low price achieved by an integrated manufacturing system -
Kameyama Casting offers low cost through our business efforts with the best of intentions. The secret of the low price lies in our integrated in-house manufacturing system. Since the whole processes from design of sample molds using 3D CAD/CAM to manufacturing of castings are implemented in our plant, commission fees and intermediary margins are not required different from the case where some process are entrusted to other companies.
We use our own truck to deliver finished products to customers to reduce wasteful cost. In addition, we pursue business policies that “for the place of the head office, avoiding the center of city whose land price is high” and “promoting cost reduction by forming a partnership with foreign subcontracting companies (Indonesia) to entrust some operations.”
We keep a spirit of challenge and continue to make efforts to hear customers’ voice saying, “We’re really satisfied with Kameyama Casting’s products.”
Description of business
Kameyama Casting manufactures automobile parts, general castings, etc. Having adopted the full mold casting process using Styrofoam patterns, not commonly-used wooden patterns, the company has achieved manufacturing at low cost and in a short period of time.
