Even in the case of manufacturing a single component, we can develop it by taking advantage of our unique capabilities, for example, by collaborating with partner companies that specialize in the technology of the component.
Proposals and global support tailored to your needs
Based on the know-how and experience we have accumulated through our business experience with manufacturers in various markets such as automotive, electronics, housing, and industrial infrastructure, we can offer one-stop proposals for optimal materials, processing methods, packaging, and logistics, depending on the application, quality, and lot size required by the customer. In addition to environmental consideration, new product development, quality, VA/VE, and one-stop procurement, we can respond to a wide variety of needs from a specialized perspective, including weight reduction, corrosion resistance, weather resistance, heat resistance, thermal efficiency, durability ,heat dissipation, safety, and design of parts.

Three functions: "creating," "producing," and "protecting" new value
TECHNO ASSOCIE has a Product Technology ＆ Innovation Division and a Quality Assurance & Environmental Management Department that perform the role of a manufacturer.
The Product Technology ＆ Innovation Division has the function of "creating" and "producing" new value through its expertise in materials, processing methods, procurement, and development/design,the Quality Assurance & Environmental Management Department is equipped with inspection and measurement instruments capable of product evaluation at major overseas bases, and is responsible for controlling and “protecting” the quality and environmental standards of parts and products.
These three functions and our sales force actively share their know-how, enabling us to make valuable proposals tailored to our customers' needs.
Matching superior technologies and products through cooperating companies.
TECHNO ASSOCIE calls itself an "Engineering company" because of the strong cooperation with our cooperating companies. Instead of delivering existing parts and products, we can provide original parts and products by cooperating companies that are good at the technology depending on the technical elements, or we can produce composite parts by combining cooperating companies.
We also engage in product-out sales, in which we uncover excellent products and technologies from various companies and promote them widely in the market. We work sincerely with products and technologies to add new value without being biased toward a specific field.
TECHNO ASSOCIE Group, as a value-creating company of the Sumitomo Electric Group, is capable of making a wider range of proposals by utilizing the high technological capabilities of each group company. We are engaged in development and proposal-based sales activities that accurately respond to our customers' request(needs) and utilize the technologies and products (seeds) of our wide range of suppliers in Japan and overseas. As a trusted partner with a broad perspective, deep expertise and know-how, and agility, we will continue to strive to provide valuable proposals and satisfactory responses.
