3 Production Bases Across Asia
Our three-base production system in Asia (Japan, Thailand, India)
enables us to propose multiple pathway proposals aligned with your updated global strategy.
Japan KIKUWA
Mass Production with High-Value-Added Technology
In addition to flexible mass production capabilities on the labor-saving die casting line, we have achieved heat treatment—previously difficult with conventional high-pressure aluminum die casting methods.
This enables significant weight reduction while maintaining mechanical strength.
Short-lead-time prototyping
Short-lead-time sand-molded aluminum prototypes and machined aluminum parts available starting from a single piece.
New Technology Development
Collaborative research with the University of Tokyo is underway to develop next-generation production technologies. We are realizing die casting technology with machining-level precision and burr-free die casting technology.
Thai KIKUWA
35 Years in Thailand
We have been operating in Thailand for over 35 years and are proud to be one of the leading manufacturers in the country. Our business extends not only to many Japanese companies but also to global enterprises.
ASEAN’s No.1 Automotive Industry Hub
Leveraging Thailand’s advantages as an ASEAN automotive production hub, we also export to the United States, Europe, and countries across Asia.
Integrated Production Process
From die-cast component machining to surface treatment, painting, and assembly, we have established a fully integrated in-house production system. This enables consistent manufacturing under comprehensive quality management.
India KIKUWA
Rapidly Growing Market
By establishing a base in India at an early stage, we are well-positioned to support the growing needs of our customers in this rapidly expanding market.
Talent Development
India’s excellent engineering talent × KIKUWA’s production experience in Asia
= Cultivating future ALL KIKUWA talent.
We are developing the next generation of leaders for Asia.
Strategic Location
With easy access to Chennai International Airport and Chennai Port, we have a successful track record of exports to global markets.
KIKUWA – A Comprehensive Die-Casting Manufacturer
With die-casting at our core, we internalize a wide range of related production technologies.
By handling in-house the processes that are often outsourced by others, we deliver on technology, speed, and cost, meeting diverse customer needs with efficiency and precision.
