Niko Manufactory's Combined
Processing
Niko Manufactory’s strength lies in its
combined processing capabilities, including
welding together sheet metal and machined
metal products, beyond separated processes
such as sheet metal punching, bending, andpressing, or machining processes such as
cutting metal blocks. We offer an integrated
metal processing service from design throughto assembly.

Technological Strengths
In-house integrated machining is possible ofa wide range of products from small to large
and including product housings.
We can address a wide range of market
needs regardless of quantity.
Services offered extend from design tomachining and assembly, and we can also
perform special processing such as surface
treatment and handle general civilian
products as well.
We are active in various defense-relatedindustries including aircraft, marine, and land
based equipment and can perform electronic
warfare and aviation equipment assembly.
Based on more than 60 years' experience,
we can respond to needs for sheet metalmachining, high-precision machining
operations, and reliable quality assurance.

Reservoir* If you get off route 16 at the Tohoku Expressway Iwatsuki interchange, you need to turnright off of route 16, but making a right turn between the dividers on the highway is extremely
dangerous because there is no traffic light. Instead, proceed to the Shiromachi 2-chomeintersection, and then make a right turn there. Thereafter, make a U turn (at the Tsuki no MoriSports Center) and rejoin route 16. Alternatively, make a left turn at the Nakacho intersection,
continue until you come to the Shiromachi 2-chome intersection, and then rejoin route 16.
