Somic Ishikawa established the ball-joint manufacturing in Hamamatsu City 100 years ago and celebrated its centenary in 2016. We are fully aware and most grateful to our customers, suppliers, and members of the community, many predecessors and company employees who are working together today. In welcoming this 100th year since our establishment, we have redefined the corporate vision with a desire to streamline the thought of each employee into one ideal as a first step in the coming 100 years.

Our new vision states, "value importance on human relationship, put our best efforts into contributing to society and create a company that we can be proud of." "Person to person relationship" is what built the foundation of Somic Ishikawa after all is said and done.

Company name "SOMIC" is a word of our coinage consisting of Japanese initial letters, namely "SO" of "Sozo- creation," "MI" of "Mirai-future" and "C" of "Chosen-challenge." Three words make up a phrase of Somic corporate stance and its name, "Create a dream, and challenge the future."
