A sustainable approach to fluid control technologies

KITZ Corporation aims to contribute to a sustainable future through the pursuit of fluid control technology and materials development.

Since its foundation in 1951, KITZ Corporation has become one of the world's leading manufacturers of valves, and Japan's largest company of its kind.

"Today, we continue to upgrade our production systems, including the use of in-house foundries, and our quality assurance system ensures that at all operating stages, our materials, products, and services meet customer requirements," says Makoto Kohno, President and CEO of KITZ. "We also employ a just-in-time production system to dramatically improve production efficiency, enabling us to respond to varied market demands. KITZ strives to lead the flow control industry by becoming the most versatile valve manufacturer."

To fulfill this goal, the company has expanded its product range through a strategy of in-house design and acquisition to offer more convenient product sourcing to customers. Just this year KITZ updated its corporate philosophy, "to strive towards building a robust global environment and sustainable future by supporting societal infrastructure through our advancements in fluid control technologies and materials."

This includes providing equipment manufacturers with solutions through its valve and fluid control products. For instance, one of the company's major markets is the semiconductor industry.
