Industrial Equipment Business
Fastening devices for applications such as "nailing," "tightening" and "tying" deliver effective results in various professional scenes.
In 1958, MAX started to sell the first-hand tacker to be manufactured in Japan.
After that, because of the establishment of pneumatic technology, we developed and started to sell Japan's first pneumatic nailer in 1962. Since then, as the pioneer of Japanese nailers, we have improved our pneumatic nailers and pneumatic compressors.
Also, in 1993, we started to sell the world's first battery-operated rebar tying tool.
We reflect needs from our customer in our products, and contribute to improving the working efficiency and decreasing the physical load on customers.
MAX is a pioneer of pneumatic nailers in Japan.
MAX is a company leading the technical innovation of nailers, and its high-pressure nailers demonstrate great performance on not only wood surfaces, but also with concrete and steel plates. MAX always continues innovating its technologies.
Battery-operated tools powered by lithium-ion battery.
MAX offers unique labor-saving, efficiency-improving tools such as rebar tying tools, which are widely used at concrete construction sites.
Based on detailed research regarding work on concrete construction sites, MAX has been developing and providing functionally differentiated unique tools and their consumables by seeing things from the standpoint of our customers. MAX's concrete tools are highly received by workers at construction sites.
We always gather to the opinions of customers to improve our products.
Rebar tying work is primarily carried out manually by experienced rodbusters. To change that, we developed the "battery-operated rebar tying tool," which allows anybody to conduct the same level of work easily, in 1993 for the first time in the world.
Since then, we have improved it by listening to our customers who actually use them, and in 2017, we started to sell the "TWINTIER." In recent years, due to labor shortages in the construction industry and an increase of construction demand, the need for efficiency is higher than ever. To respond to this need, we worked on even further improving the usability of our product. We also started to sell the "Stand Up TWINTER" in 2020, which allows the user to tie rebar without bending down, in order to decrease the user's physical burden.
It is highly powerful and lightweight.
In 2004, MAX started to sell Japan's first gas nailer (gas-powered pin fastening tool). Because it is cordless, it can be handled easily, and it has high driving power. This tool is widely used for various purposes, including for steel framing or mechanical, electrical and plumbing, housing foundations, and reinforcing steel.
MAX's products are used in workplaces around the globe.
Overseas industrial equipment business mostly focuses on the European and North American market.
At construction sites or pre-cast factories, existing manual rebar tying work has increasingly been replaced by usage of the rebar tying tool "TWINTIER".
We established MAX USA CORP. in New York in 1993. We currently operate business sites in Texas, California and North Carolina, where we are working to improve user satisfaction in ways that include further enhancing our service system. Like Japan, labor shortages and other factors are contributing to growing need for mechanization overseas. This has generated considerable demand for rebar tying tools and other MAX products.
We established the sales company MAX EUROPE B.V. in the Netherlands in 2006.
As our industrial business centered on rebar tying tools grows, we are working to strengthen our sales structure and improve user convenience with an eye to expanding our European business. Among the steps we have taken here are establishing a new German Office of MAX EUROPE B.V. in February 2022 and establishing our own service system.
It is essential to our product development to visit workplaces in oversea countries, gather opinions directly from our customers, and reflect them in our products. Gathering opinions and confirming facts are the starting points forging trust between us and our customers.
