Purpose
The OKM Group’s corporate purpose is “to deliver flow solutions,” and we have developed our medium- to long-term vision, Create 200, based on this purpose. Through manufacturing that pursues sustainability and minimizes environmental impact, we are advancing efforts to achieve continuous growth for the OKM Group while contributing to resolving environmental and social issues.
Practicing time-honored traditions since the Company’s founding
OKM was founded in Shiga Prefecture, the home of traveling traders known as Omi merchants, who thrived during Japan’s Edo (1603 to 1868) and Meiji (1868 to 1912) eras. These merchants followed a principle called sanpo yoshi, which means trading for the benefit of three parties—buyers, sellers, and communities. OKM has embraced this principle as a core part of its business philosophy since its founding.
Corporate Philosophy
Our motto embodies the spirit of sanpo-yoshi—benefiting the seller, buyer, and society.
In 1973, when OKM was still Okumura Engineering Works Co., Ltd., we adopted the philosophy of sanpo-yoshi—creating mutual benefits for ourselves, our customers, and society.
The first part of our corporate motto, “1. Unique and innovative technology,” reflects our dedication to detail, ingenuity, and continuous improvement--not only in product development but throughout production, sales, and management. By creating the optimal flow in this way, we aim to realize the spirit of sanpo-yoshi encapsulated in the other parts of our motto, “2. Maximum quality with minimum resource consumption,” “3. Material and emotional well-being,” and “4. Contribution to a Sustainable Society.”
