REASON

Himeji Rika is one of the rare companies in the quartz processing industry that operates three businesses: quartz products for semiconductors, IR heaters/UV lamps, and equipment.
The products we provide are expanding their fields of activity in a variety of fields, from cutting-edge industries such as semiconductors, liquid crystals, and optical fibers to environmental and medical fields.

Human resources and technology

The company brings together leading experts in the quartz processing industry!

Himeji Rika has a large number of skilled engineers who have been active in the quartz industry for many years.
We are committed to brushing up existing technologies as well as developing new processing technologies to achieve the required quality.

  • 【Process Skill】The industry's leading group of fire processing technicians

    Experienced quartz processing technicians perform the glass bonding process, which is becoming a rare technology in Japan.
    In particular, there is a growing demand for finer and more precise products, not only precision products, but also large products. To meet this demand, we are improving our elemental technologies for fine hole machining and high-precision polishing.
    Our many craftsmen with rich technical experience and delicate skills are the source of our knowledge and enable us to tailor our processing to our customers' needs.
    We also offer custom manufacturing according to your specifications. Please feel free to contact us for more information.

  • 【Evaluation and Analysis technology】Versatile inspection equipment to ensure high quality

    In order to create high quality products, not only advanced processing technology but also evaluation and analysis technology are required. we have various analysis and measurement equipment such as SEM, X-ray transmission equipment, and high-function 3D measuring machines to prevent problems and perform quick analysis.

In-house equipment

Active investment in manufacturing facilities, including self-developed machinery and equipment!

We also develop and manufacture in-house the machinery and equipment necessary for manufacturing, which leads to early start-up of new orders, improved quality, and stable supply.

  • 【Establish a new plant in 2020】New plant to specialize in large-size grinding products

    In addition to the existing Aizu Plant, the company opened a new plant in 2020 in the Monden-cho Industrial Park in Aizuwakamatsu City, Fukushima Prefecture, which will focus on large-scale grinding operations. We have introduced the latest equipment such as machining centers and multitasking machines.
    As silicon wafers in semiconductor manufacturing become larger, and as PV and LED-related fields that require large-scale processing advance, there is a growing demand for larger quartz glass products.
    We will continue to respond to these conflicting demands for larger size and higher precision with our advanced processing technology.

  • 【Quick delivery of prototypes】Cooperation with customers in the development of new products

    For customers who need to start up new products quickly, we can help them with development and mass production start-up with our large number of processing machines and experienced technicians.
    We do not set limits on how far we can go, but will invest in equipment and factories as needed.

From materials to members, units and equipment

  • 【We have one of the largest holdings of quartz glass materials in Japan!】

    We have one of the largest holdings of various quartz glass materials in Japan, ranging from quartz tubes to quartz plates.Especially for quartz thin tubes used in ultraviolet lamps and infrared heaters, we have several hundred to several tens of thousands of quartz tubes in stock.
    We are able to offer attractive cost proposals through bulk material procurement, which is one of our greatest strengths, as well as various dimensional valuations based on our experience in handling the largest volume of materials in Japan.

  • We manufacture not only quartz glass products for semiconductor equipment, but also industrial lamps and heaters. Therefore, we can develop and design original equipment utilizing our expertise in quartz glass, lamps, heaters, and equipment manufacturing. We manufacture the main components of equipment with lamps and quartz glass in-house, and manufacture the outer parts with the optimal components and structure for the heart of the equipment.
