Greeting from the President
Since its establishment in October of 1999, we have been providing customers with various production equipment such as lens units, camera modules and sensors by utilizing advanced technology developed by production equipment of crystal devices.
In recent years, with the continued advancement of the information age, the trend continues to be an increase in high-speed and high-volume communications, and wireless systems developed by IoT or AI technology. There is also explosive global demand of tablets headed by smart phones and high functionality, in the current electronics field, along with the automotive industry driving towards automated driving.
The bar on engineering technology is raised higher everyday for manufacturers of production equipment such as ours. By utilizing the latest technology and know-how that we have amassed over many years, we are developing high speed production equipment in response to ever-increasing demand for miniaturization, lower-profile, and high-precision systems. We offer our customers proposals and ideas with optimum solution systems. By providing high quality and added value, we continue to strive to be the industry leader.

Origin of the Company Name
The letters, “K,” “I,” and “M” originate from the entrepreneur’s initials and became the basis for the company’s name and logo. The letter “A” was added to the front of the name, symbolizing the old legend “Three Arrows.” The story is about how Mori Motonari, a famous warlord ruling during turbulent feudal times in Japan, taught his three sons the importance of unification and cooperation in order to address crises and difficulties. He used a euphemism of arrows: three arrows banded together are stronger than each one alone. The logo depicts the unified power of three arrows banded together and aiming upward to a summit. In other words, our company logo symbolizes the spirit of all employees uniting and contributing collaboratively so that AKIM may continue to be the industry leader.
