    15 years have passed after the Company Establishment.



    to Customers and manufacturers !!

       At the end of July in 2017 we celebrated 15 yeras after the company establishment. Especially from 2013 several engineers came from Luebeck, a World Heritage city in north Germany, to Japan to make PR activities of the unknown technology of the Selective Laser Metal Melting system (so called, 3D Printer). We had visited big companies in Japan. In 2014 the 1st machine in Japan was delivered to the Next Generation Technology Research Center, Kindai University in Higashi-Hiroshima. In this campus there is Dr. Hideki Kyogoku, who is a pioneer for this technological field in Japan. Then we could deliver the large Selective Laser Metal Melting system with 4 lasers as the 2nd machine in Japan. And it was very delightful to import the newest modern technological units. It is the one of big topics for our company during 15 years.
       We appreciate your continued support. We wish for everybody's health and the prosperity in future.

    10th Anniversary of the Company Establishment !

    to Customers and manufacturers

       At the end of July it was 10th anniversary of our company establishment. There is cooperation of the customers who bought our goods and the manufacturers who export us their products. March in 2013 I visited several manufacturers and studied. I hope that I can use these experiments for the customers in Japan. I remembered about 40 years ago at the same time, and I had a business trip from Japan to Germany via Anchorage in USA. At that old times there were no direct flight from Japan to Europe and also no flight from Japan via Moscow to Europe. (In this connection the flight from the Haneda Airport to Anchorage in USA about 6 hours 30 minutes. There the airplane are stopped, the refueling was done and all crews were changed in 2 hours. From Anchorage to Hamburug via North Pole it was 9 hours flight.) I met many people and they were good friends for me, too. Of course I met these friends in this trip.
       I'll still exert myself. An effort will be made every day in order to get everybody's trust. We appreciate your continued support. In the end I wish all of you the health and the prosperity.

    Concern about a weak YEN rate against EURO !

    When the EURO currency was circulated through the world from January 1, 2002, the exchange rate of EURO 1 was YEN 117.20. We, Japanese need more than 15 years for the economic reconstruction after the collapse of the bubble economy, and the low interest rate policy of that period causes still a weak YEN rate. As it stands that the export businesses pull the economic framework of Japan because of the weak YEN, only few people express an apprehension of the weak YEN. Furthermore the world economy is getting uncertain because of the sub-prime crisis in the US and the high crude oil trading prices. And the Carry Trading is a well known trading strategy where a trader will sell a currency with a low interest yield and in exchange buy a currency with a high interest yield. This Carry Trading and the uncertain US Dollars cause a strong EURO. Please refer to the line graph underneath. The US Dollar rate is fluctuating within a range but the EURO rate is rising always against Japan YEN. The Japanese economy is not powerful and the problems of the sub-prime crisis and the high crude oil don't give us a change of the low interest rate policy. However I think that this weak YEN doesn't show the fundamentals of actual economy in Japan and these fundamentals less reflect the foreign exchange market, it means, the weak YEN is speculation. The export needs the weak YEN but there is no reason that good Japanese products are sold cheap in the world. Then we depend upon the import of raw materials, and those price increase is an important factor of the consumer prices. If the increasing cost prices are suppressed, then the business management is getting to worsen. So Japanese have to accept the minimum amount of the increasing cost. Under those conditions the continuation of the low interest rate policy may be wrong. The exchange of the low interest rate policy will cause temporarily the strong YEN, and it will affect the export business. However the strong YEN will give the price degrease of the imported raw materials. We, Japanese must change the mind that the strong YEN is not bad, and our economy will shift to a consumer propensity not depending only to the export business. The people live in peace, without unrest in the future and consume some amounts within the country. As the management pay the labor cost to employee for running a company, then the people have to pay the interest when they have the loan the money. But the bank pay only few money to depositors under the low interest rate policy and the bank gain the vast amount of profit. How do you think about the real fact that the bank appropriate this profit for the loss of the sub-prime crisis ? I don't say that the bank shouldn't make profit. However please consider that now is the time when we, Japanese think about Japan future. Let's put ideas into action, otherwise the Japanese economy will be shrinking every year causing the weak YEN.

    Company Philosophy

    Our company, Aki-Alltech KK, entered 5 years after the foundation. This is because of inseparable favors of the customers who bought the goods through us and of the manufacturers who supply us their goods.
    At the moment they say that China is a manufacturing factory of the world, and his many kinds of products are imported to Japan. The products are cheap but they are getting better in quality. However the marketing distribution of cheaper products is not favorable to the economy in Japan. To compete with these cheaper products the wages-cut of employees is not a countermeasure, and it will kill the country in the future. The product development for the end users and good quality make the market price, then it is the major theme not only to export, but to induce the consumers to buy in the country lively. We get the latest information from the world and deliver it to the customers a soon as possible as a trading company.
    Japan has a vast amount of debt. If Japan is not the country but a company, then Japan has already become bankrupt. Therefore Japan YEN is cheapest currency among advanced nations. Japanese Government thinks that the exporting companies in Japan are pushing up the economy and looks on the market. We know, of course, the Government shouldn't intervene in the exchange control. As a result of the cheapest YEN the people have to buy expensive ones. There is no specific medicine for the cheapest YEN, but Japan will keep out of debt step by step and has to be in sound finance. We will make an effort to become Japan a sound finance.


    We are very particular about the traditional manufacturing technique,
    and deal with the bustling technical innovation.
    We, Aki-Allteck KK, are proud that we can joyfully help you,
    who take part in the most advanced Nano- and Bio-Technology.

    We protect the nature environment for the future and manage the company having the priority of the mind not of the material, then we aim to make the company trusted by the customers.
    Thank you for your kind support and guidance.
    March 2007
    Akitomi Ichikawa / President of Aki-Alltech KK
