It is said that the Japanese culture is a culture of wood and paper, and the Japanese people have loved wood and have maintained life surrounded by trees for many years.
The Japanese woodworking machinery is the result of further development based on traditional technology accumulated over the years.
Because of the recent so-called high-tech engineering in Japan, woodworking machinery of higher precision and higher added value is being produced.
The Japan Woodworking Machinery Cooperative Association consists of approxmately 100 companies engaged in manufacturing, distributing and importing/exporting of woodworking machinery, cutters and related equipment in Japan.
ln cooperation with various governmental agencies, such as the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) and the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, we have been making efforts aimed at the development of the woodworking industry, and the spreading and improvement of woodworking machinery.
ln order for the Japanese woodworking machinery to contribute in the effective use of wood resources and maximization of value added, it is important to correctly relay technical information and to correctly understand the users' requirements.
Based on such a point of view, we believe that the mission of the Association is to collect the latest information on woodworking machinery from all over the world and to disseminate such information from Tokyo to the many users in the world.
