On May 21, 2026, Misumi Group hosted the third Open Factory at the Shimizu Plant of its subsidiary, Suruga Production Platform. Thirty-nine students from Shizuoka Municipal Minami Junior High School participated in this career program organized by Shizuoka University. The students toured the plant's seismic isolation structure to learn about BCP measures. They also visited the 'meviy digital manufacturing system' lines, featuring automated guided vehicles, water-jet processing, machining, and shipping. Students operated the self-developed 'ALASHI' automated system to manufacture mold components (punches) and check product precision. They were also introduced to 3D CAD design using 3D-printed nameplates. Belty, the mascot of professional basketball team Veltex Shizuoka (sponsored by Suruga), also joined to promote manufacturing to local youth.
