TAKAHATA products are designed to satisfy international standards in global marketing, as well as to reinforce TAKAHATA's own corporate structure. In 1995, many of the individual plants and offices within the group obtained ISO9001 and ISO9002 certifications. One year later, TAKAHATA acquired the certifications on a company-wide level. Now that many of our customers are establishing manufacturing and marketing bases overseas, the TAKAHATA Group is actively setting up its own overseas plants to serve those customers locally. Production using the sophisticated technologies unique to TAKAHATA is now going global. TAKAHATA products are delivered to customers more quickly with reduced cost. The group is also contributing to international society by employing and fostering local engineers. Recycling is an important factor to consider in the processes of R&D and material selection. In 2001, TAKAHATA obtained the ISO14001 certification, the international standard for environmental management. The company is moving ahead in bold strides, looking forward with broad sights, creating outstanding products, and anticipating a rich and stable future.
