Since our establishment in 1962, we have expanded the magnetic head business and advanced into new fields by devoting ourselves to the development of proprietary applied and production technologies on a core of magnetic engineering.
To cope with drastic changes in the future era, we will not merely extend conventional ideas as a sensor manufacturer but rather will continue to "innovate" strategic ideas and "take on new challenges". As a part of that, we are treating the next three years as a "period for laying the foundations for future development", during which we will accelerate the search for new technologies we can rely on in the future.
Specifically, we will produce high-quality products such as "torque sensors", "force sensors" and "multiaxial force sensors" that play an important role in dynamic stress measurement, as well as "embedded sensor units", and coordinate technologies for delivering "tough user-friendly" products to customers. SAN-E TEC pursues these tasks as its mission every day.
As we steer the magnetic head business into the future, we will continue proposing ideas that will make us an "excellent company" in the customer’s eye.
