【Recruitment Blog】 Creating Smiles with Robots: The CEO’s True Thoughts on Manufacturing and Developing People
YMG Co., Ltd. is a manufacturer specializing in automation systems that utilize industrial robots.
Through material handling equipment that performs tasks such as “grasping” and “transporting” in place of humans, we support the automation of manufacturing sites.
In this article, based on an interview video with our CEO, we introduce the values our company holds dear, our approach to manufacturing and human resource development, and our vision for the future.
We hope this article will serve as a helpful reference for job seekers and students who are considering their future career paths.



#1 “Creating Smiles with Robots” – The kind of Company We Aim to Be
The belief we value most is to “create smiles for everyone through robots.”
We believe that by promoting automation through our products, we can reduce the workload of operators at our customer’s sites and contribute to creating a more comfortable and supportive working environment.
Moreover, this work holds great significance for those on the creator side – the people who design and build robots and automated material handling systems. Completing a single piece of equipment requires the involvement of various departments, all working together in close collaboration.
Through these collaborations, we aim to be a company where each individual can grow through working with robots, cooperate with one another, and lead a fulfilling and rewarding working life.
#2 Never Compromising Even by One Millimeter: The Reality of Our Custom Manufacturing
The most important thing we value in manufacturing is “never cutting corners.”
Our products are custom-made, built-to-order systems. Assembly work is carried out based in mechanical drawings, and in some cases, extremely high precision is required-down to less that one hundredth of a millimeter.
Even when tightening a single bolt, it is essential to adhere strictly to the specified tightening torque. By carefully accumulating each of these detailed processes one by one, we are able to maintain the quality of our products.
We never compromise, even in areas that cannot be seen, and ensure everything is finished properly.
This is the fundamental mindset behind our approach to manufacturing.
#3 A Foundation for Growth That matters More Than Skills
When it comes to the kind of people we are looking for, we value “openness and humility” even more than assembly skills or technical knowledge.
With this openness, individuals can accept guidance from those around them and turn it into personal growth.
As each person frows, they positively influence those around them, which in turn leads to the growth of the entire company.
There is no need to be perfect from the start.
We hope to grow together with people who value a willingness to learn.
#4 Nurturing Future Engineers Together with the Local Community
– From Toyohashi, Supporting Japan’s Manufacturing Workforce –
At our company, we also engage in initiatives in collaboration with the local community. One such effort is our outreach classes held at local elementary schools.
While allowing students to experience the robot assembly process firsthand, we provide programming education – which has become a compulsory subject in elementary schools – through partnerships with local educational institutions.
Toyohashi City in Aichi Prefecture is a region known for its strength in industrial robotics.
Looking ahead, we believe that automation and robotics engineers will become increasingly essential for Japan.
With this in mind, we work together with the local community to plan and operate hands – on workshops and classes, striving to raise awareness of industrial robots and programming education.
#5 Moving Toward the future with Smiles – For People and Manufacturing
Looking ahead, the core of our business will continue to be engineering in industrial robots and automation systems.
Centered around our flagship product, the gantry loader, we aim to create manufacturing and human resource development that bring fulfillment and smiles to everyone involved – from our employees who develop and build our products to the customers who use them in real production environments – so that all can thrive within society.
