ISB, Inc., established in 1955 as a precision equipment parts manufacturer, started research and development of laborsaving material handling equipment and vibration prevention machines in conjuunction with our accumulated technologies and applications. We built up our experience in manufacturing special bearings and wheels, not only precision equipment parts. In 1988, we constructed a high-standard FA plant so as to respond to the increase of our clients' demand for higher grade products . Thus, we promote efficiency in our production lines and in the quality of our products.
Our technologies are used in diverse applications, including multi-story parking lot facilities, exhibition equipment at events, base, and special railroad wheels. We are therefore convinced that our technologies in these wide industrial areas will be able to respond to the needs of society, which are continually getting more diversified and complicated.
We would like to increase and expand our contribution to international society in the future, through our production and stable supply of higher-grade products by making the most of our original development skills, technologies, and facilities.
