We focused attention on level sensor technologies more than 35 years ago.
Nowadays, they receive a lot of attention as technologies critical to the expansion of industry, and we have obtained high credibility and evaluation as the “one of the best comprehensive manufacturer of level controls in the world.”
We will continuously make efforts to respond to needs for environmental conservation and safety measures and always be an enterprise that contributes to the international society in consideration of “control” and “safety.”

As new products (substances) are produced, the level sensor technologies make progress. We are diligently attempting to develop technologies and bring up world-class technological development and engineering personnel through technological education and cooperation with overseas brethren. Concerning sales, we are expanding the market by establishing distributors and affiliate companies. The advanced level sensor instruments produced from global technologies have obtained global marketing network.
