We established our company in 1928 as a manufacturer of ball bearings. In 1951 we started manufacturing Ball Bearing Units for the first time in Japan. Since then, as the pioneer, we have contributed to standardization of ball bearing units themselves including the quality standard. After 1975 we started other new products like Clutches and Brakes and linear motion products. We believe that ASAHI has now grown up to be the worldwide trustworthy brand in the industrial field. Our management as a manufacturer is based on such a motto as “Always respect and follow customers’ needs”.  We have been and will always be trying to improve ourselves to develop products that contribute to all kinds of industries.
