[Challenge Toward 50th Anniversary] Koei Kasei Yamanashi Factory Launches High-Precision Pipe Fasteners in 56 Sizes to Eliminate 'Minor Fit Issues'

Koei Kasei Yamanashi Factory (Headquarters: Fujikawaguchiko, Yamanashi Prefecture; CEO: Yoshihiko Kurasawa), a manufacturer of resin pipe fasteners, is formally launching its 'Anti-vibration Resin Pipe Clamp Series.' This series is designed to eliminate the minor misalignments that existing standard products could not address.

The series features a total of 56 sizes, including 1mm increments, and achieves high fitting precision through manual finishing. Furthermore, the company's dedicated made-to-order system allows for detailed requests such as 0.5mm fine-tuning and the processing of attachment parts.

### Development Background
The project began with a review of user feedback for pipe and rod-fixing products beyond typical plumbing uses. Market products are often optimized for specific uses, leading to user frustration over 'slight misalignments' when applied elsewhere. Aiming to provide 'the right choice for every application,' Koei Kasei developed this series with its own sizing system after two years of test marketing and improvements.

### Series Features
1. **Comprehensive 56-Size Lineup**
The range covers 8mm to 100mm. For popular small to medium diameters, the 1mm increment system ensures a perfect fit for non-standard objects.

2. **Quality and Precision through Craftsmanship**
Shifting away from difficult-to-automate structures, the company focus on careful, individual molding. After over a year of mold revisions, they have achieved high visual quality and superior fixing precision.

3. **Quick-Delivery Made-to-Order System**
Despite offering semi-custom variations, the company maintains a system capable of 'basic same-day shipping.' They also handle individual needs like 0.5mm adjustments and the cutting/bonding of attachment parts.

### Future Developments
The company plans to enhance its 'Digital Catalog' for non-specialist users and provide variable 'CAD/3D Data' to ensure customers can select and use products with confidence.

### Executive Message (Director & COO Kurasawa)
"We are currently undertaking various initiatives as part of our 'Second Founding' as we approach our 50th anniversary. Leveraging our experience as a factory focused on contract manufacturing, we will continue to provide new value through our own products."
