Message from the President

We are a manufacturing company that transforms the power of light into value and provides that value by having it customized to the needs of our customers.
As of July 1st, OPTOWL has started down as a new path.

I think the power of the light is limitless.
"We provide a lot of values and benefits for the world and our stakeholders, our employees will be at the center of these activities, and we would like to be the company that makes our employees, their families, and all those involved with us happy.
Blessings of Light to Values of Well-being
This is the corporate philosophy of the new company.

We have spent more than 50 years pursuing the possibilities of light and refining our technology. We will continue to take on the challenges of pursuing achieving our new dreams with under a stronger "aspirations," with everyone building the confidence on our past accomplishments, working autonomously and trusting in its colleagues and partners.
