Company introduction

Greeting

Now the world is changing and a new society is about to be born.
            Change is our chance.
            The goal is to live a rich and fruitful life for us.
            With this aspiration in our heart, we have been and will continue to do so Inspec continues to challenge.

Become an independent manufacturer. With this in mind, Inspec began its career as a subcontractor in January 1984. At that time, there were no personal computers or the Internet in the world, and the Akita Shinkansen would arrive 12 years later. With twists and turns, we developed a lead frame inspection device in 1996 and gained a foothold as an inspection device manufacturer.

In order to live as an independent manufacturer, we challenged new technologies and hit the wall, and when we crossed one, we were bounced back again. We have overcome it and have walked to this day. During this time, the technology that has evolved step by step has become highly competitive and can drive the growth of the business, and through these efforts, many employees have grown beyond the growth of the company and are driving the current Inspec. We are doing it.

Currently, the world is facing difficulties due to the corona wreck, but a new society is being built in combination with the angry technological innovations in the electronics field that we are working on. We will take on the challenge of new initiatives to contribute to the prosperity and development of society even after the corona storm, and aim to live a prosperous, fruitful and fulfilling life.

President and CEO Masashi Sugawara
