SHINX offers a wide range of items, from materials to processed products, by making use of proprietary production equipment and technology.
SHINX was first established almost 30 years ago as a supplier of aluminum and stainless steel plates used in many types of equipment and machinery, and today caters to a number of industries for which precision and accuracy are essential.
“Since our establishment, we have been committed to providing added value to our customers under the policy of ‘high quality’, ‘fast delivery’ and ‘reasonable price’,” company president Katsuhiko Gunji explains. “We develop our own production line and use all our original, dedicated cutting and milling machines for material processing, which allows us to maintain a high production capacity and ship more than 5,000 orders per day.”
One of the firm’s major contributions is the supply of materials to non-ferrous metal distributors and machinery and parts processors, mainly related to semiconductor manufacturing equipment. SHINX meets their requirements for extremely high precision.
And, with the semiconductor industry projected to be worth USD 1 trillion, quality is an increasingly important theme for both manufacturers and clients alike.
Mr. Gunji emphasizes: “For our milled products, we generally guarantee an accuracy of ±0.05 mm, with aminimum of ±0.01 mm. Also, we are the first in the industry to establish a temperature control system for all products at 20°C ± 2°C in accordance with ‘ISO1’ to guarantee dimensional accuracy. Because aluminum expands or shrinks three times more than steel at different temperatures.”
Kobe Steel produces high-quality aluminum plates and SHINX has the leading market share in Japan.
ALJADE and ALHIGHCE (A5052) made by Kobe Steel have precise plate thickness, minimal residual inner stresses and extreme quality control. In the semiconductor equipment industry, which is predicted to grow, the demand for high-quality ALJADE and AL-HIGHCE will increase. Mr. Gunji takes up the thread: “Our unique production lines, equipment and technology, combined with the high-quality mat
