‘Osaka's hardware shop’ crafting items from pipe
NOJIMA handles a wide range of metal products combining strength and beauty, from small-lot production to bespoke items. Renowned for crafting durable and aesthetically pleasing products, the company has built its reputation under the mottos ‘Osaka's hardware specialist’ and ‘the company that makes things from pipe’. It has accumulated a strong track record in producing diverse metal goods, including office furniture and shop fittings using iron and stainless steel, alongside various hardware components. Leveraging the skilled craftsmanship of its experienced workers and meticulous attention to detail, the company handles everything from bespoke orders to OEM products.
NOJIMA's strengths lie in its advanced technical capabilities and flexible approach to bespoke orders within metalworking. An integrated production system, handling everything from design to machining, welding, assembly, painting, and inspection in-house, combined with partner companies capable of specialised processing, enables the swift delivery of products featuring both high strength and aesthetic design.
The secret to strength lies in proprietary welding and assembly techniques. Utilising diverse welding methods such as argon welding and CO2 semi-automatic welding, we produce high-strength products. Furthermore, through collaboration with partner factories, we undertake the entire process from sheet metal fabrication to finishing treatments like painting and plating, enhancing aesthetic appeal.
Moreover, the skilled craftsmanship of its experienced workers enables the production of fully bespoke iron furniture and shop fittings that combine durability with design. Manufacturing from drawings and design sketches is standard, and the company also materialises abstract customer concepts. This commitment to meeting diverse needs, from individuals to corporations, is why NOJIMA is so highly regarded.
NOJIMA values craftsmanship that not only fulfils functionality but also embodies the customer's vision, taking to heart their questions like ‘Can you make something like this?’ and their aspirations. Through design and planning capabilities that bring blueprints and sketches to life, it transforms the customer's vision into finished products.
NOJIMA aims to enhance the value of spaces such as homes and offices, enriching daily life. Consequently, regardless of production volume – from mass manufacturing to small batches and bespoke items – it releases products meticulously crafted down to the finest detail.
NOJIMA takes pride in its manufacturing quality and actively promotes its technical capabilities and responsiveness. In 2020, it obtained ISO 9001 certification, demonstrating world-standard quality. Furthermore, it exhibits at venues such as the MOBIO (Osaka Manufacturing Business Centre) permanent exhibition hall, industrial exchange exhibitions, and the Osaka Industrial Exhibition, focusing on promoting its technical prowess through these displays.
New challenges have also emerged through these exhibitions. Feedback from visitors viewing exhibits led to the development of the company's all-iron compact shelving unit, “TanaTana”. Online sales commenced in February 2024. Further product development incorporating customer feedback is anticipated.
