Landmarks of Technological Innovation

FUJI TEKKO, which was established after it became independent from the machinery division of a woven fabric dyeing company, has successively expanded its technical fields from weaving to spinning, plastic, rubber, paper, aluminum, other metals, and other special materials, and from "winding machines" to "slitters," "automatic packaging machines," and "factory automation systems".
The history of FUJI TEKKO, which received the "Director General of Science and Technology Agency Award" twice in 1985 and 1990, as well as the "Medal with Yellow Ribbon" in 1999 and the "The Order of the Rising Sun, Gold and Silver Rays" in 2016, is also a history of untiring technological innovation.

The 2nd President
Yukimichi Matsumoto

  • Awarded the Director General of Science and Technology Agency Award in FY1990
  • Awarded the Medal with Yellow Ribbon in FY1999
  • Awarded The Order of the Rising Sun, Gold and Silver Rays, FY2016

The "Director General of Science and Technology Agency Award" and "Medal with Yellow Ribbon" were presented to the company for a number of effective inventions. Among these were the "turret-type automatic winder," which enabled automatic winding of adhesive film for food packaging directly in the film production line to a predetermined width and high-speed winding with a short cycle and no loss, and two models of a "household wrap film winder".
