A Japanese major cold heading quality wire maker Osaka Seiko prepared for mass production of the thin steel wire which is heavy to process, and started the operation on the other day. Osaka Seiko had developed the production condition to aim at the new demand exploration, and it will manufacture the products for wires. In the future, Osaka Seiko will expand the production and cultivate it to the new core business.Osaka Seiko has 2 core businesses of the cold heading quality wire and the cold heading quality components. It produces at about 10,000 tonnes per month. Several years ago, the firm advanced development of the new products, and it established the product development division in January 2005. The new wire technology has the character that the manufacturing process is short and stably, and the lubricant agent doesn’t bond the surface of the products after being rolled. Osaka Seiko is currently manufacturing the products at about 20 tonnes per month, and it will expand the production with the demand condition. Hitoshi Sawada, president, said that the firm would bring up another core business by the improvement of the manufacturing process with cooperation with material and machine makers.
