Aiming To Be A
100-Year Company
Aiming to Be a 100-Year Company with a
Commitment to ROKIism
Since our founding in 1978, we have grown our business for nearly half a century.
Now, aiming to become a company that exists for over 100 years,
and to demonstrate our commitment to continuous evolution without fear of change,
we have refreshed our logo and embarked on a new start as our third founding period.
Guided by our shared values of ROKIism,
we persistently pursue business expansion
with a spirit of transformation and relentless pursuit,
striving to realize our vision of becoming a century-old enterprise.
We aim to be a company where a diverse range of personnel are able to participate, take on challenges, and thrive; to bolster our brand by
focusing on technology; and to make meaningful contributions to industry, the environment, and society.
This is the vision we seek to realize.
By leveraging our proprietary technologies in the fields of filters and ozone, and our stable provision of product, work, and employee quality,
we will continue to ensure the highest quality manufacturing
and services—remaining attentive to our customers’
needs––in order to be their number one partner.
The Driving Force Behind
ROKITECHNO’s Growth
We made our mark on the global market through the development of filters for magnetic coatings.
We were founded in December 1978, at a time when quality-driven manufacturing was just beginning to attract widespread attention.
In 1981, just three years after our founding, we successfully developed filter cartridges for magnetic coatings, an essential component in the production of magnetic tape. Our high-precision classifying filtration technology for removing impurities gained global recognition, allowing us to rapidly establish a dominant presence in the international market. This laid the foundation for our filter business and became the driving force behind our rapid growth.
Developing New Products to Meet the Ever-Evolving Demands of the Times
A revolutionary capsule filter inspired by feedback from the front lines.
In 1985, we began developing our original capsule-type filter to reduce the workload of front-line operators. The product was developed in stages and eventually launched. Ez-Change™ alleviated all the conventional issues at once—the cumbersome replacement process, liquid splattering, and cleaning difficulties.
It combined convenience and cleanliness, reducing the labor burden of replacement. It also aided in preserving the work environment and ensuring safety, which were areas of growing concern at the time. All of these led to its recognition as a groundbreaking filter cartridge.
To this day, we continue to develop products that meet the needs of the times, such as filters for pharmaceutical manufacturing processes to support the production and stable supply of domestically produced vaccines, a key national initiative.
From Domestic Market Leader to Global Player
We began in the Asian market, where we established a foothold for global expansion.
In July 2010, we established ROKITECHNO Singapore (now ROKI S&S Singapore) as a hub for conducting market research throughout Asia. We went on to establish offices in Malaysia, South Korea, Taiwan, and the United States, and we now operate in five countries.
Advancements in our filtration technology have positioned us as a leading company in Japan’s industrial precision filter industry. We have also built solid business foundations around the world and continue to expand globally.
Supporting Customers
through Technical Expertise
We provide products and services that solve our customers’ problems through
specialized technical expertise to secure a position as their number one partner.
Through our involvement in manufacturing, we contribute to industry, the
environment, and society.
Feature 01
Superior Classifying Filtration Technology
Our proprietary classifying filtration technology separates solids and liquids, removing unwanted components from liquids while selectively retaining any necessary particles. This technology is both highly valued and essential in the manufacturing processes of smartphones and semiconductors. In 2006, in recognition of our achievements, we were selected by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry for inclusion in the Vibrant HABATAKU Small and Medium Enterprises 300 Program.
Feature 02
High-Quality Manufacturing by Ensuring Quality in Three Key Areas
In manufacturing, we place the utmost importance on quality, which we categorize into three key elements: products, work, and employees. We approach manufacturing with the belief that enhancing the quality of our employees leads to better quality in work, which in turn results in higher-quality products.
Each and every product undergoes strict inspections from multiple perspectives right up until the time of shipment, and we only allow those that have passed every inspection to be shipped out to customers.
We also ensure a stable supply of high-quality products through a production system that integrates every step from raw materials through to finished products.
Feature 03
Customization Capabilities to Meet a Diverse Range of Needs
Our mission is to meet the diverse needs of our customers. We draw on our extensive expertise in providing solutions—accumulated over tens of thousands of cases—to select products that precisely match our customers’ needs, and conduct rigorous filtration tests and evaluations using actual fluids to deliver the products quickly in whatever custom-made format is necessary.
We also remain committed to offering optimal solutions to our customers’ evolving needs, even after product delivery.
Shaping the Future
through Employee Growth
We aid all employees in achieving personal growth and challenging
themselves to further heights by ensuring comprehensive training and
benefit systems, all grounded in ROKIism, our set of unique guiding
principles that form the foundation of our actions and values.
Guiding Employees
in the Right Direction
ROKIism
This is based on the philosophy that “our company can provide employees a platform to develop their abilities and give them an opportunity to realize their full potential.”
ROKIism represents the shared values and ways of working across our group, including our philosophy, motto, and code of conduct. It acts as a guide for every employee to think and act independently, while also reflecting the culture of our organization as a whole.
With ROKIism as our foundation, we work together with the goal of becoming a company that continues to be needed by society for over 100 years.
A comprehensive educational system where employees can experience their own growth
We offer training programs designed to support employees at each stage of growth, from new hires through to those in management positions.
At ROKITECHNO, we have established a structured educational system as a ‘place of learning’ to foster the growth of both our employees and the company.
Through our in-house university, Smile College, we provide a wide range of training programs—including tier-based education, common skill development, and specialized skill training—supporting the growth of each and every employee.
-
Tiered training
We provide opportunities to learn and grow together regarding the behaviors and competencies required for each position and role, starting with new employee training and extending to mid-level employee training and management training.
-
Common skills training
We aim to equip all employees with essential business skills required for performing their duties (such as training to improve explanatory skills and logical thinking training).
-
Specialized skills training
Acquire specialized skills required for job performance by job type to enhance operational proficiency (e.g., Filter Fundamentals Course, Finance and Accounting Fundamentals Course).
Considerations to Improve Employee Comfort
BenefitsWe provide a flexible leave system to aid employees in maintaining a healthy work-life balance.
To help our employees strike a healthy balance between work and their private lives, we have established a comprehensive holiday and leave system.
Annual paid leave is granted from the date of employment and can be taken in one-hour increments. Additionally, five days of work-life balance leave are granted annually for family caregiving or childcare purposes, which can be taken in 15-minute increments. Furthermore, in addition to these, we offer summer and year-end/New Year holidays, sick leave, company anniversary leave, birthday leave, and long-service leave, valuing our employees' quality of life. Other benefits and programs include the Smile Point system, where employees exchange points to express gratitude and appreciation for each other; a long-service award program; and an employee stock ownership plan that supports personal asset building.
