Over the years, we have pioneered the development of plasma and laser cutting machines and commercialized state of the art automated systems using CNC controls that kept pace with the latest market needs. At the same time we established a network to supply total systems, from gas, welding, cutting solutions and related equipment, to fill our customers needs. Our corporate philosophy is: 1) Management Philosophy: "To satisfy the needs and establish the trust of our worldwide customers as a total source manufacturer and supplier of gas, welding and cutting solutions." 2) Basic policies:a."To increase customer satisfaction, acquire new customers, and maintain lasting relationships with existing customers" b."To contribute to society as a meaningful and financially sound company." c."To improve our knowledge and skills and focus our efforts toward improving ours and our employees lives." Based on these philosophies we will continue to move forward, responding to the dramatic changes in the 21st century, through our own continuous improvement programs as well as developing new technologies that are environmentally friendly and address the needs of our customers.
