Okuma Celebrates 120th Anniversary (Video)

All this year Okuma Corporation will be celebrating the 120th anniversary of the company’s establishment, which officially takes place in January, 2018. Okuma was founded in 1898 to produce and sell noodle making machines, and started manufacturing machine tools in 1904. We’ve created a commemorative video to capture the essence of Okuma’s journey through the years (so far), and are celebrating the passion for monozukuri (“the art of making things better”) that we all share.

We’re grateful to our customers, our employees, and everyone who has helped us enjoy this long history. Together we’ve become strong. Over time, machine tool users’ needs have changed rapidly, but one thing remains constant: our focused dedication to finding ways to conquer each challenge. We embrace these challenges, because change is not something to be feared, it’s an opportunity to renew our inspiration.

Our craftsmanship enables yours, and our machine tools facilitate an open road of possibilities for your shop. As long as there are people for us to serve, we’ll continue to challenge ourselves in the future.
