Company Profile | Heiwa Gokin Co., Ltd. | Foundry company in Takaoka, Toyama Prefecture

Takaoka, the town of foundry.
We have moved forward with this long history.

Since its founding in 1906, Heiwa Gokin has mainly produced large castings, including bronze statues, monuments, and Buddhist objects, in Takaoka, the town of copperware.
With the desire to broadly express the beauty of Takaoka copperware, we have adopted lost wax casting, which has enabled us to express a greater variety of expressions, and we now receive a variety of orders from companies, governments, and artists all over Japan.
We are proud of the technology inherited from our predecessors, and will continue to give form to everyone's ideas.

Message

With the theme of continuity and innovation,
A bold challenge

Message from the President

The foundry industry, which has a long history and tradition, is also at a major turning point.
The slump in demand for Takaoka copperware has affected not only many casting companies, but also the craftsmen involved in finishing, engraving, and coloring. Always have a spirit of challenge, protect what you can protect, and attack what you can attack.
We believe that traditional industries are about "continuation" and "innovation."
In order to preserve the unique technology that our craftsmen have cultivated over many years and the culture of casting for future generations,
We believe that our role is to continue to take on bold challenges.
