THAI EMIC sells high-precision vibration test equipment in Thailand. This equipment is indispensable for the development and improvement in fields of automobile parts, motorcycles, and electric and electrical appliances, where high quality is demanded.
Behind the fact that the company realized the credibility of high-precision vibration test equipment in Thailand was the encounter with the excellent jigs of Fujita Giken Thai.
"Excellent jigs we encountered in Thailand" made it possible to do tests with high-precision vibration testing machines
"Vibration test equipment is all about measurement accuracy. If the jigs are poor, accurate measurement results are not obtained," says Tomohiro Shimizu of THAI EMIC. He now holds the title of Operations Director, but he was originally from a field of engineers and has a solid insight into machinery.
The selection of jigs, that affect measurement accuracy and can be said to be "heart" of testing machines, is particularly strict. Mr. Shimizu has tremendous trust in the jigs manufactured by Fujita Giken Thai. When THAI EMIC studied providing the service of vibration test equipment in Thailand, the company thought that jigs of the same quality as Japan were difficult to procure in Thailand and considered importing them from Japan. However, it was Fujita Giken Thai that splendidly overturned this concern.
Although the history of collaboration between the two companies is only about 6 to 7 years, THAI EMIC is requesting the production of jigs from Fujita Giken Thai for all test equipment they own. By being able to procure jigs locally, it became possible to respond quickly to customers.
Japanese quality jigs created by long experience and reliable technical capabilities
Why can Fujita Giken Thai manufacture jigs of the same quality as Japan in Thailand?
The first reason is the excellent strength coming from producing by shaving. Jigs from other manufacturers are inexpensive because they are joined by welding but have the disadvantage of being easily broken.
The next reason is technical capabilities. Technical guidance is mainly provided by President Fujita, who has a career as an engineer.
In addition, the factory manager, who has been working there since the factory was established and inherited the technology from President Fujita, conveys "Japanese technology" and "the spirit of manufacturing" to workers.

President Fujita says, "When making jigs, the experience and sensibility of the workers affect the finish." Having the trust and technical capabilities of President Fujita in the center, with the support of the factory manager who fully understands "Japanese quality", Fujita Giken Thai is able to manufacture high-precision products.
THAI EMIC's high-precision vibration test equipment equipped with jigs from Fujita Giken Thai will continue to support manufacturing in ASEAN countries such as Thailand, Vietnam, and the Philippines.
