Company Philosophy

Sakamura Hot Art Co., Ltd. was established in 1999 after splitting from Sakamura Machine Co., Ltd. (It was formerly the Hot Forming Division.)
We handle everything hot former related, from design of horizontal hot formers unique to Japan to die design, production, machine start-up, maintenance, and after sales.
Our first hot nut former was launched in 1968, and we created a hot former with world’s largest forging capacity of 21,000kN in 2007.
In 2013, we acquired the Sakamura Hot Art building. We are using the 1st Floor as a factory complete with machine shop capabilities, after sales, and maintenance service.
We will continue to provide equipment that suits our customers’ needs using our long experience, engineering capabilities, and newly developed engineering.
