We manufacture small-size robots and robots used in clean environments. The medium- and large-size robots are manufactured in the Robot Plant No.3 in Nakama.
Head office building
The entire floor of the head office building has become an atrium giving those inside a sense of space and cleanliness. Also by using natural sunlight, the building works as a smart office.
At the reception lobby, visitors will be greeted by the PixCell-Double Muse statue, a work in the motif of a godess that rules over intellectural action and symbolizes the source of creation.

At the greenbelt, you can enjoy seasonally blooming trees and flowers. There are over 100 kinds of plants, and it is open for public in the daytime on weekdays. (Opening hours: 9:00-16:30)
