Since 1917, AIDA has constantly led the metal-forming industry as the foremost manufacturer of metal-forming systems, particularly Servo & mechanical presses. Backed by its technological capabilities built up over many years, AIDA was the first in Japan to develop a range of products, including capping presses, transfer presses, stamping centers, and industrial robots, growing into one of the world's most prominent manufacturers of forming systems, with a history of glittering achievements. As a company listed on the first section of the Tokyo stock exchange, we enjoy a high reputation in Japan and overseas for our stable financial structure and sound management. Since the establishment of a representative office in 1968, we have been vigorously expanding overseas, and currently we are offering our overseas customers attentive service via a network of 41 sales and service centers in 19 countries worldwide. In recent years we have established overseas manufacturing bases in the U.S. (Ohio), Europe (Italy) and Asia (Malaysia and China), creating together with Japan a global manufacturing system that can tailor our products better to customer needs. As a forming systems builder that supports the manufacturing process, we are aiming to become a global total engineering company in order to meet the demands of all manner of customers throughout the world.
