From trust to kando :
Komori's new next-generation plant.

To take customer vision to a higher plane. To build the world's premier printing press production facility. And to raise quality and reliability to the realm of kando (being moved by something that exceeds expectations).
This is the dawn of the Tsukuba Plant, Komori's latest factory, the fusion of creativity and state-of-the-art hardware. The future of printing starts here.

Bringing users the highest levels of quality and reliability.
The Tsukuba Plant provides the most advanced production environment in the world, complete with facilities for accelerated research and development activities. Each process is individually certified, and full printing tests are carried out on each press before shipment.

Responding to needs accurately and quickly.
Komori has completely standardized each process, thus shortening manufacturing lead times at the Tsukuba Plant. Utilizing an advanced information network and a just-in-time parts control system, the pace of development, design, production and delivery has been ramped up. Efficiency has been significantly increased and waste has been eliminated.

The Tsukuba Plant addresses the issue of energy resources and promotes harmony with the environment and community.
The plant reduces power consumption and CO2 emissions with an electricity generation system that uses solar and wind power as well as a gas-powered air-conditioning system. Zero emissions programs are enhanced by a waste handling area with more than 20 recycling categories.

Komori knows that good communications are essential for raising reliability and quality.
The Tsukuba Plant is designed to be a plant open to customers, suppliers, and employees. Using the factory as a showroom, making information networks more tightly knit, and providing a very open office design - all work to improve communications.

A grove of creativity, the Tsukuba Plant is dedicated to fostering the next generation of human resources and technologies.
The plant provides training resources for raising production technology expertise, facilities for research and development of both basic and advanced technologies, and an environment aimed at improving production technologies, including a testing room for verifying durability and a design review room.
