President's Message


Amatsuji Steel Ball Mfg. (AKS) has specialized in the manufacturing of steel balls since its foundation in 1920. We have consistently focused on manufacturing products that meet customers' needs and contribute to society. We are proud to have gained a high reputation and trust not only from Japanese major bearing manufacturers but also from leading overseas companies.


To improve our trust and technology, we concentrate on TQCD + 3S (Technology, Quality, Cost and Delivery, added to Safety, Speed and Service) and 5C (Change, Chance, Cooperation, Challenge and Champion), and we strive to be a leading company in total quality by taking an "Omnidirectional proposal approach".

Our products in themselves are simply spherical, but various technologies are required for each application. In order to keep up with these technologies, we advance quality control and technology development thoroughly with cutting-edge analysis devices, and we are manufacturing high quality steel balls that correspond with our customers' needs.

Nowadays social circumstances surrounding us changes day by day. Global environmental issues are one of today's biggest concerns. We have advanced environmental measures readily such as installing solar and wind power generation devices, using energy-saving equipment and promotion of "zero emissions". We strive to fulfill our social responsibility and enhance our presence as a reliable company.

As a leading steel ball company, we aggressively advance into the global market to contribute toward the world's technology improvement. In addition to our Japanese facilities we now have 5 production bases in the United States, Europe and Asia, which creates a solid network for supplying our advanced products to customers all over the world.
