Under the corporate vision of “Making work life easier and more enjoyable worldwide,” MAX works on responding to needs of our customers, understanding changes in our society, and creating and introducing unique products by following our strict jobsite-oriented and customer-first principle, thus creating new markets and establishing realms where we stand as No. 1 or the only one.
No matter how much the world around us may change, the following mission of MAX's never will: To manifest the capability and skill in our possession to the fullest, bring forth quality products sought by our customers and society, and supply them on a continuous basis. We seek to do our part for society by realizing a company that keeps steadily existing through how products brought forth by MAX transform our customers' daily lives and work with convenience and comfort.

MAX's ideal personnel are "people who are willing to keep taking on new challenges without fear of failure and who are willing to learn and grow with others." We try first, not worrying about possible failure. We make efforts to obtain the “facts” of each jobsite as our objective data, which are acknowledged/shared among our team members with the objective of defining the direction of work for the team and to take future actions. We turn the "facts" that we obtain into shared value that we tie into the growth of both ourselves and our team.

MAX was established in 1942 as a manufacturer of airplane parts, which required the highest level of metalworking technologies of that time. After WWII ended, we utilized press technologies and wire rod processing technologies*1, which we had developed in the pre-war era, to produce products which stand as No.1 or the only one in the industry, such as staplers (we were the first Japanese manufacturer to produce them),auto staplers*2, pneumatic nailers, rebar tying tools and tape binding tools, contributing to improving the efficiency of work in offices, building and construction sites, as well as agricultural and food industries. As the aging of society has progressed, the need for a more convenient lifestyle has been increasing. To answer this need, since 2000, we have expanded our business to home environment equipment such as “DRYFAN,” a heater-ventilator-dryer for bathrooms, as well as home care and rehabilitation equipment such as wheelchairs. MAX’s history reflects its insistence on “making products that fully satisfy the people who use them.”
