"Research" is what drives UYEMURA.

Our technical skills have been forged on the frontlines.

When these researchers are added to our technicians and mechanical designers, nearly half of our entire workforce is involved in development. Most of our sales staff also originated from technological fields, and it is thought that no other company of the same size can match us with regard to the dominance of technology-oriented staff in the labor force. We were the first company in the plating industry to establish the Central Research Laboratory in 1968 as an institution for interdisciplinary research into surface treatment. Since that time we have spared no effort in our devotion to researching and developing surface treatment technologies.
