Story | ABOUT US | Arakawa & Co., Ltd.

Creating new values

We deeply appreciate your continued support of Arakawa products. Our policy is to create genuine, original products. Our journey began in 1975 with the production of a tool for gripping and pulling electric cables, known as the "Hand puller."

Dr. Hideo Arakawa, founder of Arakawa & Co., Ltd., invented and introduced the gripper mechanism in JAPAN SHOP in 1980. Since its inception, Arakawa has continuously developed this mechanism for various applications, including in shops, interiors, galleries, and art museums as wire display tools.

A defining feature of Arakawa & Co., Ltd. is our ability to apply our innovative mechanism to various display solutions. Our business activity focuses on presenting new applications for Arakawa products. All our staff are dedicated to improving quality and service to ensure the satisfaction of our global customers.

Creating new values

Creating something original

"Creating something original" is the founding principle of ARAKAWA CO., LTD. that Dr. Arakawa set when he started the business. Following this principle, his three sons now run the company, Mr. Hajime Arakawa as its president, Mr. Hitoshi Arakawa representing Manufacturing, and Mr. Makoto Arakawa representing Marketing and Sales Promotion. We are committed to creating new values and exploring what’s next with our key product called ARAKAWA GRIP, a highly potential cable gripping device that can be used in various ways.

Manufactured at our own factory

Arakawa's products are manufactured at the company's Tokorozawa factory, located in a calm suburban neighborhood where you can find some tea gardens. We have approximately 30 employees working at this facility. We place orders for materials, machine, assemble, inspect and ship our items, and also design and develop our products here. With the latest equipment and select materials, high quality products are manufactured by experienced engineers who have advanced machining skills. Our ongoing efforts include saving time and reducing manufacturing cost so we can increase productivity and maintain constant supply of products.

Highly reliable products

We have roughly 500 products in our catalog, about 300 of which are constantly manufactured at the factory. We produce a wide range of items in small lots in order to meet various needs. Items are assembled with precision by skillful engineers, all of which are then inspected to satisfy our special and strict specifications. ARAKAWA & CO., LTD. is renowned globally for the ARAKAWA GRIP and other highly reliable products that reflect the company’s commitment to quality.
