From “Nara,
which has no oceans”
to
“the oceans of the world”
MIZUNO STRAINER INDUSTRIES CO., LTD.
Representative Director:Nobuaki Mizuno
Since its establishment over 60 years ago, Mizuno Strainer Industries Co., Ltd. has continually faced challenges found in the world’s oceans as a specialist strainer manufacturer. We have been able to stably maintain our business thanks to the unwavering support of our business partners and suppliers from the founding of our company until now, and the efforts and enthusiasm of our employees who work hard to create good products. I would like to take this opportunity to offer my sincerest thanks to all of you.
We have continued to create strainers which remove impurities from water and oil, and continued to build our experience and achievements related to the filtering of water and oil. However, there are still unexplored areas where phenomena we have not yet experienced occur, such as the environmental problems arising all over the world, where the importance of strainers continues to grow. We will continue to strive to be a company that can be relied upon to stand side-by-side with our customers, to contribute to the solution of these issues, and to be relied upon so that customers can believe "Mizuno will know the answer" and "Mizuno can handle it".
The manufacturing environment has also changed significantly over these past 60 years, and I believe that we will always need to continue developing and growing in order to maintain our unchanging quality and advance our techniques and technologies. We will continue to value our core beliefs, maintained since the founding of the company, of "be humble" and "it is the heart that is important", and we will continue to change, create, and face challenges, moving ever forward so that we can take on "large jobs all over the world" while being a "a small company from Nara".
