Delivering Satisfaction
Delivering Satisfaction

Among scientific instruments for high-mix low-volume production, the “three-one motor” is safer, easier to use, and supports agitation research, which is indispensable for scientific experiments. “Tribo gear” for equipment design, new material development, and tribology (friction amount) that is closely related to general life.

Focusing on the fields of these agitators and friction and wear test equipment, we have built up trust in 60 years by deepening and enlarging the substrates of highly technologically advanced products. We will continue to develop products based on Haydon’s original ideas.

This is Haydon’s belief. We aim to be a 100-year-old company while responding to changes in the times without changing our beliefs in order to deliver satisfaction to our users.

Creating the future of HEIDON

Thanks to you, Shinto Kagaku celebrated its 60th anniversary this year. 20 years of rapid development with the rapid growth of Japan. Twenty years culminated in a frenzied bubble economy. 20 years after the burst of the bubble

And the earthquake …

The next 20 and 60 years of HEIDON. Always recognize the basics in technology, management, and transactions, and maintain an attitude of returning to the basics. Things that can’t be destroyed … HEDION

Our brand "HEIDON" was named after the name "Hiradon" that was given to the founder, Mashei Nomura, during his apprenticeship. In 1945, Masuhei Nomura entered a physics and chemistry store in Nihonbashi, and the nickname given by the husband of that store was "Hiradon" by adding "Den" to "Hira" of "Masuhei". However, he didn't like it, and HEIDON is a brand born from his rebellious spirit and Kikai-ya spirit. The thoughts of the founder are still inherent in HEIDON products.

Brand

This company’s “Heidon” brand name derives from the nickname “Heidon” given to the company’s founder Masuhei Nomura at the time when he was working as an apprentice. Even though the brand sounds like it may be a German word, our company is “Made in Japan”.

The “Three-one Motor” agitators are so-called because they promise the “Three No.1’s” of “Maintaining Safety”, “Delivering Satisfaction”, and “Maintaining After-sales Care”.

This name was formed by combining the words “tribology” and “gear”. The name incorporates the feeling of wishing to create products through effectively using the complex study of friction and wear as a tool.
