Endo Manufacturing started business in metal processing, which was popular as a local industry in Tsubamesanjo. We turned our attention to producing sewing machine parts which was in great demand and then, started with production of screwdrivers and a variety of needles for sewing machines. This is the era when we started manufacturing products to create demand using the locally-developed technology. |
1960 |
At this time when manufacturing of western tableware had grown rapidly in Tsubame, Endo Manufacturing started manufacturing a seven piece-set of kitchen utensils, which included a ladle, spoon, fork, knife, etc. Then we started to export them and garnered a huge share of the overseas market for stainless steel kitchen tools. |
1970 |
During this period of rapid economic growth, Endo’s business scale also grew a great deal. We diversified and manufactured six categories of products, e.g. sewing machines, kitchen tools, containers, silverware, tooling, and golf club head. We also commenced approaching the domestic market in addition to the overseas market. |
1980 |
We consolidated six different businesses from the point of efficiency, and reorganized into manufacturing setup centering on three business categories of golf equipment, stainless steel and precision machinery. When Epon Golf was established in late 1970’s, manufacturing a golf club of our own began in earnest. |
1990 |
Endo Manufacturing realized the necessity of manufacturing overseas and built a manufacturing plant in Thailand. Starting with the establishment of ENDO THAI CO., LTD in 1989, we strengthened our business structure by completing mass-production setups in each of the business areas of golf club head, stainless parts, and forging parts. |
2000 |
We looked for new business development opportunities using the strength of each of our existing business categories: golf club heads manufacturing, stainless parts manufacturing, and forging parts manufacturing. We will continue to evolve by exploring new opportunities in the future with medical devices using our forging technology and new products using the metal sleeve. |
2010 |
We started to set up a mass-production system for our three core businesses. By networking each production system in Japan, and Thailand, we developed the critical infrastructure to increase our market share. We also started manufacturing medical devices using our forging technologies. |
