Enabling overseas mass production of products that have been mass-produced in Japan––this may sound easy, but there are some obstacles to the process.

One of them is the plating quality

Plating is essential for the production of lead frames and connectors. However, there are not many overseas plating factories that can maintain the same Japan-quality.

The quality of plating is extremely crucial in the production of lead frames and connectors. For example, the brightness of LED depends on its structure, plating components, and material composition. Even when using the same plating material, the slightest variation in atmospheric composition will result in the difference in brightness and durability.

Furthermore, overseas factories usually do not have thorough quality control measures to maintain the same plating quality after having once succeeded in achieving it.

For 30 years since it began exploring the potential of overseas production, Enomoto has built a trusting relationship with local factories and staff. Our relationship is not merely that of a contractor and contractee.
We have, on occasion, demanded strict requirements to further enhance the staff's awareness and understanding of the Japanese quality of manufacturing.

As a result, we have come to the point where we can share product management agreements with overseas factories.
We take pride in having established a system of managing the quality of our overseas production.

We have a track record in overseas mass production that succeeded in maintaining the quality level to Japanese standards while also achieving a cost reduction of 30%.

Currently, plating is available in Enomoto's factories in both the Philippines and China. We can also handle plating processes without any restrictions to the plating manufacturer.
In the future, we expect increased demands from our customers requesting to have their orders delivered from Enomoto's overseas networks to their own overseas factories. We will develop a framework that can accommodate the needs of our customers to the fullest extent.
We believe this is a demonstration of our capabilities to create products through the eyes of our customers.
