From a safety perspective, Koyama, like many Japanese
metalcasters, plays children’s music (rather than a horn) during molten metal transfers to alert employees to the potential danger. Koyama also focuses on noise reduc- tion as much as any other environmental or worker safety initiative when developing production advancements. With the new iron casting facility, Koyama said its mold line emits only 75 dB(A), while a typical mold line emits noise in the 85-100 dB(A) range.
Push to the Future All of Koyama’s casting production stays within Japan.
The firm always has followed the philosophy of being a local source, referencing the traditional Japanese manu- facturing model of OEMs surrounding themselves with their suppliers. “We focus on diffi cult to produce parts that can’t be
exported just anywhere,” Koyama said. “T e effi ciencies we achieve and quality we deliver keeps our customers happy.” T e customer list for Koyama contains many of the usual
suspects, including Subaru, Komatsu, Hitachi, Caterpillar, Bosch and Toshiba (all Japanese operations). T e continuous improvement to advanced technologies
has Koyama on the fast track for growth. T e fi rm saw a signifi cant dip in sales during the recent recession from 13 billion yen ($169.4 million) in 2008 to 9 billion yen ($117.3 million) annually in 2009 and 2010, but the new production increases have put the plant on a path to 20 billion yen by 2015. “We believe the new
iron facility will dramati- cally change our capabilities, opening the door to many new opportunities,” Koyama said. To receive this digital magazine in the future, go to

音。Koyama公司说，有了新的铸铁铸造车间后他们的 造型线将只发出75分贝的噪音，然而传统造型线发出的 噪音在85到100分贝之间。
展望未来
所有Koyama公司生产的铸件产品都在日本国内使 用。该公司始终遵循这一理念，成为一个本地生产源， 采用日本传统的OEM制造模式，即供应商遍布在它们 周围。。
“我们也关注生产不能向任何地方输出的铸件的生产 造成的困难，”Koyama公司说，“但是我们的效率和 产品质量让我们的客户满意。” Koyama的客户名单中包括很多有名企业，有斯巴 鲁、松下、日立、卡特彼勒、博世、东芝（都是日本企 业）。
先进技术的不断改进使Koyama公司处在快速增长的 车道上。在最近的经济衰退期间，Koyama公司销售业 绩有明显下滑，从2008年130亿日元到2009年和2010 年每年90亿日元，但是新产品增加会使Koyama公司 2015年的销售业绩达到200亿日元。 Koyama公司称：“ 我们相信新的铸铁车间 会极大地提升我们的能 力，打开许多机会的大 门。”。
