Corporate Motto |
| |
| “Good environment, Good people, Good techniques” The founder of Mitutoyo, Mr. Yehan Numata, who in the early days of the process of creation led his employees in manufacturing micrometers, took to deploy into his heart the importance of their devotion to the mission. “In order to create reliable products the best effort must be exercised in the education and training of people with respect to production” was his thought.
This corporate motto also implies that good human resources can only be fostered in a good natural environment and a good working environment. |

Management Principle |
|
| |
| 1. Aiming the best in the field of specialty |
| |
 |
Mitutoyo, which was a pioneer in manufacturing precision measuring equipment, aimed to become the best and has now grown to be the world’s leading manufacturer of precision measuring equipment. We have been pursuing the following manufacturing principle consistently since the foundation of our corporation: “Quality, Affordability, and Durability”. However, this principle was not broad enough to embrace all the growing needs in these years. It became critical to develop a measurement technology that could keep pace with and actively promote the rapid progress of diverse technologies required by customers.
Even though Mitutoyo is well thought of by users in technological terms, Mitutoyo must maintain its manufacturing lead by continuously revitalizing itself, and by keeping a challenging spirit so it remains a company full of creativity.

| 2. Contributing to spiritual well-being through support of Buddhist missionary work |
| |
Many hotel rooms in Japan and overseas are provided with the Christian Bible. Recently, there has been an increase in the number of hotels, which provide an English version of the The Teaching of Buddha. Over 7 million copies of localized translations of “The Teaching of Buddha”, including bilingual Japanese/English copies as well as Japanese-only and English-only copies, have been donated to hotels by a Japanese foundation called the Society for the Promotion of Buddhism. It is Society for the Promotion of Buddhism. (Hereinafter called BDK), that donates millions of copies of the “The Teaching of Buddha”, which has been translated into 42 languages. |
 |
|
| |
 |
The BDK operates missionaries that are not restrained by sectarianism and with the aim of spreading Buddhist culture by, for example, offering courses on Buddhism in major universities all over the world. These universities include Harvard University and Oxford University. Mitutoyo supports this Buddhist missionary work as one of its corporate principles. Mitutoyo gives financial aid to support the activities of the BDK. |
|
In December 1991, Mitutoyo was awarded the International Precision Industry Prize (a bronze image shown in the photo) from “IIPP”, which is an organization associated with UNESCO. This was the first time a Japanese corporation was awarded this prize. One of the reasons Mitutoyo received this award was that it had contributed not only to “industrial society” but also to “world peace and the prosperity of humankind through the creation of fund for Buddhist missionary work”. This is an honorable result that Mitutoyo’s Mecena activities were evaluated.

Founder’s Challenging Mind |
| |
|
The founder Yehan Numata started with a small 100m 2 laboratory located in Kamata, Tokyo in 1934. His aim was to manufacture homemade micrometers.
Three years after founding the company and after trial and error associated with the exploration of new technology, he finally succeeded in producing first homemade micrometers and sold them throughout Japan.
They included hand towels on which the phrase “The world’s best Mitutoyo micrometer. Good, Inexpensive, and Durable” was printed. And the phrase has been realized.

In the Spirit of Mitutoyo |
| |
|
|
To become a complete man, one must acquire Wisdom,
Benevolence and Valor. With Wisdom only, one tends to be cold.
Benevolence alone makes one weaker. With Valor only,
one may reach beyond his capabilities.
When the three qualities are combined, however, one will become a complete man.
Similarly, success in enterprise lies in the knowledge of Heaven,
Earth and Man, Business will succeed only when these factors, “heaven sent” chances,
natural opportunities, and harmony of man are present.
Without even one factor, success is remote. In Buddhism,
Butsu (Buddha), Po (Doctrine) and So (Priest) are three
principle treasures for its promotion of the teaching.
In Christianity, God, Bible and Minister.
The word MITUTOYO signifies three abundances.
“Mitsu” means three, while “Toyo” stands
for a state of abundance.
The name MITUTOYO was selected,
with a sincere wish to see more complete men,
to create a prosperous enterprise and to introduce
righteous religion to all,
along with the lasting wish for a peaceful world
and fulfillment of meaningful life.
