D2P! Today we attended a long-standing exhibition in the Chicago suburbs focused on everything from mechanical parts design to precision manufacturing. Staying sharp in this industry means constantly learning and refining our understanding of market trends and evolving technologies.

The show is highly relevant to our work in parts washing systems and component machining, but another key reason for visiting was the strong presence of customers who will be exhibiting at IMTS this September in Chicago.

In today’s inflation-driven U.S. market, manufacturing capabilities are increasingly shifting toward high-precision sectors such as medical and MedTech. As a result, there is a growing shortage of conventional machining capacity for standard mechanical components.

This creates a clear opportunity—and necessity—for Asian and Japanese manufacturers to expand collaboration with U.S. machining partners.

本日はシカゴ郊外にて恒例の機械部品の設計から部品製作までの展示会でした。業界動向や技術を常時学び研ぎ澄ませていく必要があります。弊社で対応している部品洗浄機や部品加工業も同展と関係がありますが、シカゴで9月に開催されるIMTS展の出展企業のお客さんが勢ぞろいしている点も訪問の大きな理由です。インフレに直面している米国市場では、米国の加工技術は医療やMed-Tech系の高精細分野に移行してしまっており、通常の機械部品加工が不足しています。アジアや日本の加工会社は米国の加工会社との協業パートナーを増やしていく必要があります。岸岡

Honored to connect with the leadership team at AMT as we gear up for IMTS 2026.

We are seeing a growing number of fabrication, machining, and manufacturing-related inquiries across the U.S., reflecting continued momentum in American manufacturing. With this being an IMTS year, we are especially excited to support new exhibitors from Japan as they enter the North American market and showcase their innovation at McCormick Place.

It is truly an honor to meet with the AMT leadership team behind IMTS and to exchange insights as we prepare for another world-class manufacturing event.

A sincere thank you to the AMT leadership for your continued partnership, vision, and support. Fabricationアメリカで加工関連の依頼が増えております。　今年はIMTS開催の年です。IMTS主催者のAMTのリーダーたちにお会いできて光栄です。 Amt Online International Manufacturing Technology Show McCormick PlaceUnited Machining

Had the privilege of touring STATION Ai—one of Japan’s largest startup ecosystems—thanks to our Nagoya-based tenant support partner.

The campus brings together major corporate sponsors, government agencies, VCs, financial institutions, and manufacturing partners, with on-site equipment and robust soft support. An impressive, truly end-to-end environment for building and scaling ventures.

Like many modern corporate spaces in Japan, the cafeteria is open to the public—lowering barriers and creating real points of contact with external communities. In a market where cross-company and cross-industry interaction can still be limited, this openness fosters collaboration and unlocks new opportunities.

From STATION Ai to the U.S. and beyond, we look forward to supporting market entry and global expansion. Wishing continued growth for Japan’s startup ecosystem.

日本の最大級のスタートアップ、名古屋の入居支援パートナー企業様にステーションエーアイにご案内していただきました。大手スポンサー企業、政府機関、VC、金融機関や製造パートナー企業が入居されていて、及び製造機器を構えておられ、充実したソフト面でのサポートをいただける素晴らしい施設でした。最近の企業のカフェもそうですが、一般向けにも利用いただけるシーンが増えてて、ステーションエーアイのカフェテリアも一般利用が可能で、そのように日本お敷居を下げて（一般的にはまだまだ異業種、他社との敷居が高すぎます）外部の方々との接点あ協調でうまれる新たな機会創出を体感できることは素晴らしいです。我々はステーションエーアイからアメリカへ、そして海外市場への販路開拓支援などお役に立てればと思います。今後の日本のスタートアップの発展を祈念しております。　元日本起業家協会・学生会長 兼 慶応義塾大学支部長 シカゴより、岸岡慎一郎　 #日本 #スタートアップ #ステーションエーアイ #明治電機工業
