We believe the quality of a product delivered determines the life of a business and aim to create solutions which exceed the standards required of our clients. At the same time we strive to be a business which not only gives back our clients, but our employees and business partners as well.

Since our establishment, Shotoku has been dedicated to developing creative engineering techniques and design proposals from the ground up, without exception.

The monitoring, control, measurement, and other precision instruments manufactured here are critical to the industrial systems in which they operate and must deliver reliable results, without fail. Working hand in hand over multiple industries, we employ and cultivate a skilled team of engineers capable of designing, developing, testing, and producing instruments capable of operating under such environments.

Through these efforts, we have come to possess a diverse product range with broadcast systems at our core.

We will continue to develop ever more advanced engineering solutions, and lead the charge in progress.

Creating exceptional products and exceeding the needs of our clients is essential to our business and consequently the key to its success. 80 years after our establishment, we reflected on this philosophy and the success made possible by the people who use and create our products and a new slogan was born: Shotoku Affirmation, Shotoku Admiration, Shotoku Always. (やっぱり昭特、だから昭特、いつまでも昭特）

It is a reminder to us that our clients have made Shotoku their first choice every time and we aim to insure that they have made the right choice. It is call to action to every employee to discover for themselves what they admire about the work they do, their role in the company, and the company itself. This is what drives each one of us to continually improve and innovate to secure Shotoku’s future.

Take nothing, leave nothing. As a business, Shotoku is committed to actively participating in systems of environmental management to reduce our impact on the environment and better the world around us. One such system is our Bottle Cap project. All profits made from the resale of recycled plastic bottle caps since 2007 have gone to purchasing vaccines to help eradicate polio. To date, we have provided over 1000 vaccines.

As a responsible corporate citizen, several times a year, younger members of our team volunteer to clean up the neighborhood as a part of an active volunteer effort to give back to the community. It is one small way we take care of the environment we all share.

Test Pieces, Mechatronics, Broadcast Systems. As each new line of business grows it lends itself to the creation of the next. We look forward to fostering our established relationships, undertaking new ventures, and growing our line of camera support into a truly world-class brand.
