Established in 1938, Tamagawa Seiki has been manufacturing and selling products in the industrial, aeronautical, space, and defense industries with a focus on precision machinery such as high-precision sensors, motors, and gyros. Since its founding, we have challenged various technologies required in that era, participated in NEDO’s (New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization) ” Screening Project Using Nanoparticles ” in 2003, and established the manufacturing technology of magnetic beads “FG beads”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n
