Yamaha’s Casting Technology
The Factories Contributing to High-quality Monozukuri
Yamaha Motor is dedicated to Monozukuri (engineering, manufacturing and marketing products with an emphasis on craftsmanship and excellence) with a high standard of quality that moves and inspires people. We employ innovative concepts, technologies for maximizing user fun and confidence, and our Refined Dynamism design ideals during the product development stage, but it is the manufacturing and production divisions that are responsible for transforming it all into an actual product. These divisions also have decades of experience and are always working to further their technological capabilities and know-how.
One of their areas of expertise is casting the metal parts used in our motorcycles, outboard motors, automobile engines and other products. From 2017, we are now not only casting parts for Yamaha products, but opening our doors and expertise to outside clients, offering metalworking solutions and job-order production on a global basis. In this issue, we introduce Yamaha Motor’s beginnings and expertise in the field of casting.
