Please tell me your company's strong points and outstanding characteristics.

① We are an independent Japanese company designing, manufacturing, exporting and importing automatic, labor-saving machinery to sell corporate customers especially in pharmaceutical, cosmetics and food industries.
② We have five sales offices nationwide, as well as two technical centers in Osaka and Saitama and a factory in Chiba. We are both a trading company and a maker with more than 50% of our employees being technical staff.

Please tell me your company's main customers.

Some of our main customers are Takeda Pharmaceutical, Otsuka Group etc. in pharmaceutical industries and Shiseido, Kao Corp. etc. in cosmetics industries.

Please outline the sales jobs.

Our sales staff is to sell industrial machinery such as manufacturing machines, packaging machines, inspection machines and others mainly to pharmaceutical or cosmetics makers' plants. They are responsibly in charge of sales of machines from a single machine of several million yen to a large production line as much as over one billion yen. Routine sales activities are visiting plants of pharmaceutical companies etc. to see, for example, plant managers or production managers for presentation of our machines.

Is there any difference in sales between trading company and machine maker?

The machine maker mainly sells their own products, whose variety is limited to handle. But in our case, you can handle not only our own machines but a wide variety of machines from domestic and also overseas manufacturers to select those most suited to customer requirements such as machine performance, specification and budget.

How am I assigned after joining your company?

Sales staff is assigned to Sales Division in our headquarters（Osaka Office）, Tokyo Branch or other sales offices in Toyama, Shizuoka or Fukutsu. Technical staff is to the headquarters, Osaka or Tokyo Technical Center or Kanto Factory. Clerical staff is to General Affairs or Accounting Division in the headquarters.

Please tell me how Osaka or Tokyo Technical Center is different from Kanto Factory.

Osaka and Tokyo Technical Centers manufacture packaging machines and processing machinery dedicated to“solid medicine,”as well as provide after-sales service for these machines. Kanto Factory manufactures filling machines and processing machinery dedicated to“liquid medicine,”as well as provide after-sales service for these machines.

Do I get a transfer or relocation order?

Basically, you do not get transferred, but senior staff may.（We have a system for recruiting local workers in a limited area.）

How about an overseas assignment because I have a desire to work abroad?

We have an overseas subsidiary in Thailand. In accordance with your aptitude and command of foreign language, you may be transferred there after getting knowledge of machines and machine sales.

Am I ordered to make a（local）business trip?

Yes, but day business trips mainly. Sales staff needs to make distant business trips to visit customers located far away, to take them to machine makers for plant tours and machine observation or to attend predelivery machine tests at machine makers.

How about overseas business trips?

Yes, for both sales and technical staff, as we deal with lots of imported machines. The opportunities will be given not because you have a good command of foreign language but because you have enough knowledge of machines.

Please outline employee training and period after joining the company.

After joining the company you learn business manners, more about the company etc. for about a week. For another week you receive technical training about machines. After these you start to get experience from a senior mentor individually. We support those very eager to train/educate themselves to receive special training.
