Creating new values

We appreciate deeply your use of Arakawa products. Our policy is to create real original products. Our start is to produce the tool for gripping and pulling an electric cable which named "Hand puller" in 1979.

Arakawa invented the gripper mechanism, and made it public in 1981 as a new cable fastener. Since the invention, Arakawa has been developing its mechanism into various uses. For example, they have been used for shop, interior, balustrade, gallery and art museum as cable display tool.

The feature of Arakawa & Co., Ltd is to apply our mechanism to the innovative display. Our business activity is to present the new application of Arakawa products. All of our staffs are keeping mind to progress quality and service for satisfaction of users in the world.

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.
