We primarily handle a wide range of industrial fasteners, including various stainless steel screws and engineering plastic screws.
Applying this development technology, we have recently introduced numerous engineering plastic products such as guidance and warning blocks for the visually impaired, as well as parts basers and pressed parts, into new markets.

Business content
Maru-Em Manufacturing Co., Ltd. operates under the fundamental principle of "connecting hearts," and is a research and development-oriented manufacturer that handles everything from product planning and development to mold making, manufacturing, and sales of all kinds of fastening parts and components, mainly screws, as well as automotive parts and medical devices (orthodontic wires).
Product and Technology Introduction
Product and Technology Introduction
Let's move forward together! Towards the evolution of screws in the 21st century.
World's first product to be commercialized - Magnesium alloy screws
Furthermore, we have achieved world-first success in commercializing products made from metals that were previously considered difficult to plastically process, such as magnesium alloys and titanium-based shape memory alloys. Moving forward, we will continue to dedicate ourselves to the development and manufacturing of screws and fasteners made from new materials focusing on "high strength," "high corrosion resistance," "lightweight," "environmental friendliness," and "recyclability," transforming your new needs into concrete products and delivering them with the highest quality.
Magnesium alloy screws
World's lightest magnesium alloy screw
Screws made from magnesium alloy, the lightest of all practical metals used in structural materials, are not only lightweight but also possess many advantages due to being made of the same material, making them ideal for fastening magnesium alloy components, which are expected to become even more widespread in the future. "Magnesium alloy screws are ideal for fastening magnesium alloy parts." Maru-M Manufacturing has been mass-producing AZ31 screws since 2004, but to enable applications in an even wider range of fields, they have developed screws using AZX912, which has high strength and heat resistance, through the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry's Advanced Technology Support Project.
Metal glass screw
Durable for repeated tightening and loosening.
A bolt with high strength, a low spring rate, and a low internal-external force ratio.
By utilizing the unique properties of metallic glass—high yield strength and low Young's modulus—we have developed a bolt with high strength, a low spring number, and a low internal-external force ratio. This bolt also achieves toughness and enables mass production by applying cold plastic deformation (rolling) of metallic glass, a process previously considered impossible.
Furthermore, the high strength and low spring constant characteristics make it gentle on the mating material and also give the bolt itself a function that prevents it from loosening.
Metallic glass screws possess 1.3 times the strength of high-strength copper screws. Furthermore, cold plastic deformation (rolling), which was previously considered impossible for metallic glass, allows them to exhibit toughness not seen in machined metallic glass screws. In addition, the pressure-compensating stress on the surface is expected to contribute to improved fatigue strength. On the other hand, the screw head maintains a high yield ratio, resulting in ideal mechanical durability that withstands repeated tightening and loosening.
Orthodontic wires
Excellent corrective ability and biocompatibility
Medical field – Development towards kindness
We have worked to commercialize "GUMMETAL," a new Ti-Nb-based material that possesses excellent orthodontic ability and biocompatibility, but was considered extremely difficult to mold stably. We have succeeded in establishing our own unique wire processing technology and cold bending process.
Furthermore, using specially designed, highly advanced wire manufacturing equipment, we have succeeded in producing high-precision, low-friction wires without compromising GUMMETAL's mechanical properties (high strength and low Young's modulus). We manufacture high-precision, high-quality archwires from not only round shapes, but also irregular shapes such as squares and rectangles, utilizing our proprietary bending machines that incorporate our unique know-how.

Maru-M Manufacturing Co., Ltd. obtained a "Medical Device Manufacturing License" (license number: 27BZ200136) from Osaka Prefecture in 2009.
Furthermore, in order to continue providing products worldwide under a comprehensive quality control system, we obtained ISO 13485 certification in 2010.
High strength, high corrosion resistance, high toughness
Perfect Stainless Steel (PS-550)
The conventional wisdom about stainless steel was that it had good corrosion resistance but lacked strength. While martensitic stainless steel could achieve sufficient strength, its corrosion resistance was still far from satisfactory. Perfect Stainless, developed using a new and successful technology, is a completely new and revolutionary stainless steel that solves both of these problems simultaneously.
Perfect Stainless
Excellent corrosion and acid resistance in seawater.
Marine Stainless Steel (MS-270)
Marine Stainless Steel (MS-270)
Marine Stainless Steel (MS-270) is an austenitic stainless steel that has superior chloride corrosion resistance and stress corrosion cracking resistance compared to SUS316 and duplex stainless steel.
The MS-270 achieves maintenance-free operation.
A "supporting industry" centered around screws.
Japan's first successful mass production of stainless steel screws!
In 1957, Maru-M Manufacturing Co., Ltd. became the first company in Japan to successfully mass-produce stainless steel screws. Since then, the company has developed a wide variety of screws and fastening parts, contributing to the development of domestic industry.
The products are used in a wide range of industries, including housing and building materials, ships, environmental equipment, home appliances, low-voltage electrical and electronic equipment, and automobiles. In recent years, the company has also expanded into new energy fields such as solar power generation and fuel cells.
Our pride and joy: a collection of stainless steel screws
The company has specialized in stainless steel screws and has been engaged in product development. They have delivered products that reliably meet on-site needs, such as "Perfect Stainless," which boasts high strength, high corrosion resistance, and high toughness, and "Marine Stainless," which has excellent seawater resistance, acid resistance, and stress corrosion cracking resistance. In addition, they have developed "SF (Super Ferrite)-160+a," a high-performance ferritic stainless steel that has corrosion resistance and strength equivalent to general-purpose austenitic stainless steel and can be used with magnetic tools due to its ferromagnetic properties.
President Osamu Matsumoto has adopted "providing original products through ingenuity and creativity" as one of his management principles. This multifaceted approach to stainless steel is the true strength of his company.
Resin, magnesium, titanium... We are continuously developing unique products.
As President Matsumoto states, "We always maintain a challenging attitude, act responsibly, freely, and creatively." At Maru-M Manufacturing, they are focusing on materials other than stainless steel and utilizing the technical expertise cultivated through many years of experience to create one unique product after another.
For example, there's the high-strength engineering plastic screw "FASNY" and the "Navi Marker," which is attached to carpet tiles to guide visually impaired people. The material used for these products is not stainless steel, but a type of polyamide resin.
Main business activities
Furthermore, the company was the first in the world to commercialize magnesium alloy screws, which use magnesium, the lightest structural metal with a specific gravity one-quarter that of stainless steel. They also offer products using aluminum and titanium, demonstrating not only their development capabilities but also the breadth of their field of expertise.
The president confidently states, "We aim to be a leader in the screw industry in technological innovation and development." He intends to continue bearing the heavy responsibility of being a "supporting industry" for the industrial sector, contributing to the prosperity of his customers and, by extension, the industrial sector.
Manufacturing and sales of screws, cold-pressed and machined parts, high-strength resin products, cotter pins, tools, molds, etc., and assembly services.
