A New Factory for Toyama
We are proud to announce that our superb new factory will open in the spring time of 2015.

The factory location has been carefully chosen to provide excellent conditions for producing and testing state-of-the-art experimental apparatus. The hilltop location is far away from sources of environmental interference such as road vibration.
Dedicated test areas will allow us to perform measurements such as long term stability testing at the highest levels of resolution and accuracy under conditions that meet or exceed those of the actual installation site.

The site is already cleared and work on construction will start in early 2014. In order to restore the forest around the site we will be planting about 20,000 young trees. The first phase of this planting took place in December 2013.
