We provide unique binding equipment for use in the agricultural industry. We developed the world’s first mechanical tape binding tool, the ‘TAPENER’, in 1969 and have since been continuously improving clinching technology and expanding the TAPENER series for various applications in agriculture. In 2017, we launched a new generation of the TAPENER called the ‘HT-R’ series, which reduces clinching force by half, making binding work in the field much easier. Among such products, the “TAPENER” has been used not only in Japan but also overseas in regions such as Europe, America, and Asia. Our research keeps us closely aligned with our customers’ needs. Members of our product planning division and R&D staff regularly visit customers using our TAPENER, carefully considering ways to improve their satisfaction and identifying new functions that can be used for innovation.
