About CKD Corporation

CKD Corporation is a Japanese automation company established in April 1943 and headquartered in Komaki, Aichi, listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Prime Market and the Nagoya Stock Exchange Premier Market. Its own company introduction states 4,641 employees as of 31 March 2025 and annual sales of ¥155.6 billion, and organises the business into automatic machinery — packaging systems, pharmaceutical packaging, lithium-ion battery manufacturing equipment and inspection machines — and component products spanning pneumatic, fluid-control, drive, electric and fine-system components. CKD is filed here only for its end-effector line: its handling components include pneumatic grippers and chucks and vacuum components used as robot end-of-arm tooling, supported by pick-and-place units, index units, direct-drive motors and electric actuators from the same catalogue, which distributor descriptions put at more than 500,000 items across thousands of product categories.

That breadth means a robot integrator can source the gripper, the valves that drive it, the air preparation and the sensors from one pneumatic specialist. The company’s components are used across semiconductor, automotive, pharmaceutical, food and general manufacturing sites in Japan and overseas, with plants in Japan, China, Thailand, Korea, Malaysia and Indonesia and sales offices worldwide. For directory partners, CKD is a listed, full-line pneumatic supplier whose gripper and vacuum lines equip robot cells at production scale.
