"To become the leader in the world as a comprehensive manufacturer of oilless bearings, and to contribute to society by technology" as the corporate philosophy, Oiles Corporation has been challenging for safety and comfort for people, and for creating the society in considering the global environment. We visited Ashikaga plant, and interviewed with Kiyomi Nagayama in Production Business Division.
In April 1939, Japan Oilless Bearing Laboratory was founded, and started the production and marketing of oilless bearings. In February 1966, the company name was changed to Oiles Corporation and up to the present date.
Oiless Corporation provides,
・Oilless bearing products
・Bridge products
・Building products
・Housing products
those four major groups of products.
In April 1993, Ashikaga plant was developed, and in March 1998, Seismic Isolation and Vibration Control Technical Laboratory (here in after SIVCT Laboratory) was added to make up the current Oiles Corp. - Ashikaga plant. Within our products range, Ashikaga plant is responsible for research and development of bridge, buildings, and housing products. In our company, only Ashikaga plant is responsible for those products in Japan.
The SIVCT Laboratory in Ashikaga plant performs technical development by utilizing testing and measuring equipment, such as large LRB testing, 4,000t capacity two axis structure testing, and 3,00t capacity large vibration control wall testing equipment.
As previously mentioned, within our company, only Ashikaga plant handles seismic isolation, vibration control, and earthquake resistant products. The products, researched and developed by SIVCT Laboratory, are manufactured in Ashikaga plant, and been used in supporting your daily lives.
Those seismic isolation, earthquake resistant bridge, building seismic isolation, and vibration control are not so popular for the public, it would be grateful if more number of people know that such kind of products are manufactured in Ashikaga plant.
Please come and visit us for our plan tours to experience the superior performance of the seismic isolator made by Ashikaga plant.
To contribute to the local community, we are participating in the Yabagawa River cleaning activity of the Watarase River Project every year.
We are conducting plant tours in Ashikaga plant. Our earthquake resistant equipped "Guest house " is available in our site for monitoring by visitors.
Our products are indispensable in our society, but not popular for the general public.
We have devices of seismic isolation and earthquake resistant for housing which may be used at your homes. It is not easy to see such seismic isolation, vibration control, and earthquake resistant equipment at buildings or bridges on expressways or rivers by yourselves, but actually they are used in various areas.
For the increased safety and quality of life of society, we continuously develop the seismic isolation equipment which increase and realize safety of life and property in an advanced level, by protecting various structures, such as bridges, buildings, and housing, from natural disasters. We are grateful for your continuous supports on Oiles Corporation - Ashikaga plant.
