YKE is a unique, one-stop manufacturing company that handles everything from computer-aided electronic circuit design, acrylic printing and cutting, assembling and packaging. The company has produced a wide variety of products, including large LED signs installed in electronics stores, point-of-purchase displays explaining product mechanisms, and neon signage.
In addition, the company is working to create products utilizing its technology to the fullest, such as character goods with UV printing on acrylic and body measurement equipment to suggest a mattress suitable for the user. "YKE's strength is the one-stop service system allowing us to achieve high cost performance and short delivery times," says Yoshikawa.
●Expanded the scope of business by responding to and acting on the trends of the times
L) Installed a large acrylic laser cutting machine for fast, clean cutting.
R) CO2 measuring instruments were developed during the pandemic.
The company started its business by designing and manufacturing control panels at a time when labor-saving machines utilizing computers were beginning to attract Industry attention. Once LEDs started to be utilized, customers began to ask for a variety of needs, such as "Can you make it three colors?" and "Can you make it rotate?" This was where the company's electrical design skills came into play.
Since there was an acrylic cutting processing request from a company, he purchased a large cutting machine. This enabled YKE to make acrylic goods such as key chains quickly and in large quantities, and to offer them at reasonable prices. In addition, a printing machine was introduced. The company started to do its own printing and is now able to respond to a wider range of needs.
Yoshikawa is always pursuing new things and keeping up with the times. When he decides on something, he acts on it immediately. He said, "I have been involved in development for a long time, so I find it interesting to think of new things and bring them to life. I would be happy if people all over the world were pleased with it."
