Japan Die and Mold Industry Association
Developing activities with “exhibition of creativity”as its theme.

In 1957, we established “Japan Die and Mold Manufacturers Association”mainly organized by die and mold manufacturers,aimed a popularization of dies and molds and standardization of its technology. Since then, the Association has played a vital role in Japan's high economic growth as a supporting industry in processing and fabrication industries.

Recently, we achieved high precision and high quality of molds and dies, short-cutting of delivery time and cost reduction, and we are proud that these have served as a driving force in improving the position of Japanese processing and fabrication industries in the world.

In the future, we will further drive the established policy and also further build up know-how deeply and widely and contribute to the development of industries in order to contribute to a creative society in the 21st century.
To achieve those targets, we reached the conclusion that organization of the such as restructuring.
Under such circumstances, the association established“Japan Die and Mold Industry Association,”on July 1,1994,as a national center of the Japanese mold and die industry leading the world, intended for sound development of the mold and die industry and relative industries and coordinated prosperity of the world economy and improvement of the nation.
