About Kitagawa Corporation

Kitagawa Corporation is a Japanese manufacturer founded in March 1918 in Fuchu, Hiroshima, whose machine tool accessories business is relevant to robot and automation end effectors through its gripping and workholding technology. Its official about page says the company has built its own technological capabilities while supporting Japan’s global manufacturing industry, across three core businesses: casting and machining of metal materials, supplying power chucks and numerically controlled rotary tables to the global machine tool industry, and construction and recycling plant and machinery work. Within machine tools, Kitagawa describes itself as a leader in global supply of power chucks for turning centres and NC rotary tables for vertical machining centres and other accessories, and its global hand company operation in Fuchu is listed among a worldwide network that includes subsidiaries and offices in the USA, Mexico, Europe, India, Thailand, China, Taiwan, Korea and Australia, with phone contacts published for each.

That network supports machine builders and end users that need precision clamping and indexing on automated machining lines. Kitagawa is listed in its own name on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. For directory users, Kitagawa is a century-old workholding supplier whose chucks and rotary tables underpin automated loading and machining cells.
