Efforts to Promote Gender Equality
We are a manufacturer that handles products which use metals such as iron as a main material, and are proactively advancing the employment of women. For example, in 2014, we were certified as an "Ishikawa Gender Equality Promotion Declaration Company."
Efforts Toward the Act on the Promotion of Women's Active Engagement in Professional Life
In March 2016 we announced our General Business Owner Action Plan, based on the Act on the Promotion of Women's Active Engagement in Professional Life.
Our site with the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare is here.
In the Plan, we set a numerical target of women accounting for at least 25% of new graduate hires.
Diversity Through Products
● Support for 11 languages in weaving support
Our " Weave Navigation® System, "a weaving support function first developed by TSUDAKOMA, assists users by using a large display, and supports the display of 11 languages. The optimal weaving conditions TSUDAKOMA has accumulated are provided in an easy-to-understand manner to users at weaving mills in various countries and regions, having different conditions and levels of experience. This leads to the achievement of both high-quality textile production and energy saving at high levels. (See the website for our textile machinery.)
● "PARA RAIL" Series of Portable CFRP Slopes for Wheelchairs
In order to manage differences in height such as steps into companies or homes, which are a great obstacle for wheelchair users and their caregivers, our composite machinery business has developed the "PARA RAIL" series of portable slopes made of CFRP for wheelchairs. The PARA RAIL is distinctive for its light weight and high strength (see the Famille TSUDAKOMA Corp. website). "PARA RAIL 120C," our newest model, weighs only 3.5 Kg, which is less than the previous model (A 17% reduction). It received the Excellence Award in the Welfare Equipment Division of the 22nd Ishikawa Prefecture Accessible Society Promotion Awards (2021).
