The Monozukuri Center provides a forum for learning the principles of manufacturing that is always open to anyone in Akebono. In addition to offering a series of short-term training programs that incorporate the hands-on experience of manufacturing, the center provides associates with opportunities to make new friends.
The center plays an important role in nurturing Akebono’s human resources, offering training classes nationwide. In particular, it aims to develop associates who will go on to strengthen the functionality of production sites. Also, the center promotes the dissemination of Akebono’s manufacturing strengths - built upon a solid tradition of Japanese Monozukuri - among its overseas operations.
Many people get to experience the philosophy of Akebono's value-added product manufacturing every year, because Akebono's Monozukuri Center welcomes tours and offers opportunities of hands-on experience not only to our associates, but also to our suppliers and customers.
