Careers
Looking for engineers who want to take on new technical challenges
and develop innovative measurement instruments.
MESSAGE
A Message to Engineers
Since our founding in 1985, Asahi Souken has been creating "one-of-a-kind" measurement instruments as a precision equipment manufacturer based in Niigata, Japan.
Our products serve as the "measuring sticks" of industry — from oil absorption testers that determine carbon black quality, to instruments that automatically evaluate micro-particle hardness, to devices that quantify crease quality in corrugated board. Our strength lies in niche, high-precision manufacturing that major manufacturers cannot replicate.
"I want to see my work through from concept to mass production with my own hands" — if that resonates with you, this is the perfect place for you.
Masaaki Ozawa, President & CEO
