Yajima Giken, Inc.

Yajima Giken, Inc. (矢島技研株式会社) is a Japanese manufacturing company headquartered in Hikone, Shiga Prefecture, engaged in factory automation (FA) equipment and parts-feeder products. Its official website describes the company as supplying FA-related systems and feeder products, with a feeder products division and an Okayama factory historically associated with the former Yajima Giken organization. The company also maintains a Nagoya office for administrative management. A significant corporate event took place on 1 April 2024, when Yajima Giken, Inc. and Aitecno Yajima Co., Ltd. (株式会社アイテクノ矢嶋) merged, with the FA businesses operated by both companies transferred and integrated into the new Yajima Giken, Inc. The merged entity continues under the leadership of President and Representative Director Kazuyuki Ishikawa. The company's official homepage notes that the former Yajima Giken feeder division and Okayama factory remain accessible for feeder product inquiries. Yajima Giken operates primarily in the Japanese market, serving manufacturers that require automated feeding, parts handling, and factory automation solutions. Its product range centers on parts feeders and related FA equipment, which are used in assembly and production lines. The company is not known to be publicly listed, and no parent company or larger group affiliation is indicated in the available evidence. As a specialized engineering firm, Yajima Giken occupies a niche within the broader Japanese industrial machinery sector, competing with other FA equipment and feeder manufacturers. Its 2024 merger with Aitecno Yajima consolidated FA operations and strengthened its position in the domestic market. The company continues to operate under the Yajima Giken name and maintains its headquarters in Hikone, Shiga.
