DHOWA TECHNOS: The manufacturing industry's most trusted supplier

Factory automation and optimization to remain high priority as respected company gears itself up for overseas expansion and structural change.

Founded in 1948, Dhowa Technos has been a leading provider of solutions for the Japanese manufacturing industry for more than 70 years.

A company that prides itself on obtaining customer satisfaction, Dhowa has been able not only to adapt to the social changes that have characterized much of Japan's post-WWII transformation, but to predict such shifts before they occur.

Take automation, for example, a development which, according to company president Hirokazu Ono, "has been in the minds of many Japanese enterprises for a long time now". By foreseeing problems such as population decline and labor shortages, Dhowa was able to get ahead of competitors by making automation accessible to smaller-sized businesses, rather than focusing exclusively on companies with big budgets and global brands.
