On Thursday, February 5, at the Higashi Mikawa Economic Forum 2026 held at Hotel Arc Riche Toyohashi, the Higashi Mikawa Monozukuri Award ceremony took place.
This year, three companies were selected for the Grand Prize. One of them was OptTech Co., Ltd., which also cooperates with us as an instructor at the robot programming school operated by our company.

The Higashi Mikawa Monozukuri Award recognizes outstanding manufacturing technologies, products, and initiatives that contribute to regional industrial development. Representative manufacturing companies and organizations from the Higashi Mikawa region are selected for this award.

OptTech Co., Ltd., which received this award, is a company that continues to create new value in the manufacturing field by leveraging its advanced technical capabilities and original ideas, such as the development of appearance inspection lighting that integrates optical technology with AI.
Its technology, which has achieved both automation and high-precision inspection in processes that previously relied on the visual judgment of skilled workers, has been highly evaluated for its practicality and future potential within the industrial sector. These attitudes and initiatives provide great inspiration not only to local industries but also to the development of the next generation of talent.

The company also supports children’s learning as an instructor at the robot programming school operated by our company. Drawing on practical knowledge and experience cultivated in real-world manufacturing settings, they convey the joy of making things and the importance of thinking skills to the children.

Congratulations on this well-deserved award.

Going forward, our company will continue to work in collaboration with companies and engineers active in the region to promote the appeal of manufacturing and to support the development of the next generation.
