Careers
Big ideas, made real, built together.
Founded in 1963, we have been turning parts at our factory in Kurashima, Fuchu-machi, Toyama since 1972. Our shop floor runs the latest robot lines alongside conventional lathes, the roots of manufacturing. We are looking for people to work with us there.
- Location
- Kurashima, Fuchu-machi, Toyama
- Equipment
- 78 machines
- Quality standard
- ISO 9001:2015
We machine the round parts that support rotation.
Parts we machine
Bearing components and industrial machine parts. Both are round parts turned on lathes, and they go into bearings, presses and construction machinery, machine tools and pumps.
Bearing components
Thrust washers and other bearing components
Components for thrust ball bearings, spherical roller thrust bearings, angular contact ball bearings and ball screw support bearings, plus outer rings for cylindrical roller bearings and others. They are the core of our production.
Industrial machine parts
Bushings and other round machine parts
Bushings for presses and construction machinery, machine tool parts, hydraulic parts, and pump and valve parts. Prototypes and one-offs are machined from a single piece.
- Materials
- Stainless steel, aluminum, copper alloys, steel parts such as SUJ2, and castings
- Outer diameter
- φ5–φ600mm
- Lot size
- 1 piece (prototypes, one-offs) to thousands or tens of thousands (mass production)
- Volume
- Factory-wide, about 600,000 pcs/month (mainly bearing components)
A job for every process.
Work
From cutting steel stock to turning and measuring, here are the areas of work, drawn from the processes we actually run in the factory. The open positions are Machine operator and Production control.
-
Cutting
FIG. 5 Band saw HA250 Material cutting
You cut steel stock on band saws into lengths that are easy to machine. It is the first process, before the parts go on the lathe.
- Equipment
- AMADA HA250 ×2
- Position
- Machine operator
-
NC turning
FIG. 6 QUICK TURN NEXUS 100 Precision turning on NC lathes
You read the drawing and turn round parts on NC lathes. Rush prototypes and one-offs start from a single piece. Large parts are turned on the vertical NC lathe up to φ600mm OD.
- Equipment
- Mazak QUICK TURN, MEGA TURN 600 vertical NC lathe and others (precision machining group: 17 machines in total)
- Position
- Machine operator
-
Robot line
FIG. 7 Robot-loaded NC lathe XD-10i Robot line setup and management
On this line, NC lathes with gantry robots machine parts unattended. You prepare the setups and manage the line's operation.
- Equipment
- Robot-loaded NC lathes, CNC lathes and others (automated production group: 29 machines in total)
- Position
- Machine operator
-
Loader line
FIG. 8 Loader line (single-purpose lathes) Mass production on single-purpose lathe lines
You mass-produce thrust washers on loader lines of single-purpose lathes, in lots of thousands to tens of thousands.
- Equipment
- Large-, medium- and small-diameter loader lines (24 machines in total) and others
- Position
- Machine operator
-
Inspection
FIG. 9 KEYENCE 3D shape measuring machine Measurement and quality inspection
You check dimensions and form through 100% and sampling inspection, and record traceability data. Critical parts are 100% inspected.
- Equipment
- Tokyo Seimitsu form measuring machines (2), KEYENCE 3D shape measuring machine
- Position
- Machine operator
* Machine counts and models are as listed under “Equipment” on our current website. For details, see the Equipment page.

Better manufacturing, in every industry.
Our approach
This is how we think at Hayahoshiseiko. Work that anyone can do reliably is left to automation and systems, so that people can focus on designing processes and solving difficult problems.
Principles
The President's message, “For the one part others turned down, 60 years of skill,” is on the Company page in full.
- 01 People for the work only people can do.Work that anyone can do reliably is left to automation and systems. Our craftspeople concentrate on designing processes and solving difficult problems.
- 02 Experience, verified by data.We make machine utilization and small losses visible in numbers, so we can guarantee quality and reduce costs at the same time.
- 03 Across departments, toward one product.We look at the whole, not just our own part, work together, and share the progress of the work with everyone.
- 04 Trust people, and help them grow.With clear tasks and priorities, we hand over responsibility without fear of failure, and support people who think for themselves and grow.
Building skills within a quality system.
Under our ISO 9001:2015 quality management system, we machine to set procedures, measure, and keep records. This is the framework in which we develop skills.
- Standard
- ISO 9001:2015 (EQA / ANAB)
- Inspection
- 100% inspection, sampling inspection and traceability control. Critical parts are 100% inspected
- Training
- On-the-job training or manufacturer courses. Support for gaining qualifications
