Company

There's a famous saying in marketing that goes, "People don't come to buy drills, they buy holes."
"Work" is done with "tools," and that work brings "satisfaction" to people. We believe that it is our mission to connect the two.
But does the "tool" really matter as long as it makes a hole? As tool makers, we want to be particular about the "tools," and we sincerely hope that others will be particular about them.
There is a saying that "tools change consciousness.
" When people get their hands on new, excellent tools, their consciousness changes, and they want to use them to do something new. Excellent tools made with the utmost care, ideas for the creation of new work, and the sense of exhilaration that this gives people. We believe that connecting these things is our ideal.
Tools bring satisfaction, exhilaration, and smiles to people.
Bring smiles to the world with tools. 160 years after our founding, we at Takagi continue to pursue our mission and ideals as people involved with tools.

Our company began as a sawsmith in 1866 and has since expanded into wholesale, product planning and development, and more.

What we have cultivated through this is solid skills and an eye for tools, credibility and reliability, and deep connections with our employees, business partners, and the local community.

Shortly after our founding, fellow local blacksmiths gave us the idea to expand into wholesale, and in the past, our suppliers helped us when we were on the verge of going out of business, and our customers have often given us valuable hints for product development.

It is these connections that have made our business viable and expand to date, and they are a major asset that continues to create value today.

Going forward, we will continue to cherish the connections between employees, between the company and its employees, and with business partners and the local community. By adding new connections through encounters with new people and business partners, we hope to utilize our greatest strengths to continue running a business that adds value to everyone.
