Infinite creativity opening the coming century
ITOTEC, which is reputed in the world as a cutting machine maker having more than 90 years of business experience since it started business, keeps adding new clients.
In the background why ITOTEC is needed not only from Japan but also in the world, there is our attitude leading the industry at the global front line while promoting technical innovation under the mission of contribution to the people and society.
And now, when we face a new unknown century, we have integrated our professional technology and expertise having been nurtured, to play an important role on the customer’s side with truly valuable sophisticated functions. Our goal is to develop cutting-edge technology that can arouse surprise and excitement.
ITOTEC keeps developing the new way with a searching mind and enthusiasm.

  “Human being” is the theme of the computer technology
A user-friendly cutting machine is developed
It is the cutting machine that is indispensible for the printing, binding and paper craft industries. The requirement is very high. The cutting machine must be complete in every aspect such as the speed, accuracy, quality and safety. Operators of the cutting machine have suffered for years from waist pain caused by the lifting work of heavy paper and accidents caused by sharp cutting edges. ITOTEC’s technology has eliminated these problems.
We produce epoch-making functions such as the “phototube safety device” that stops the machine if foreign matter is detected beneath the cutting edge, “lock function” that avoids double descent of the cutting edge and “paper feed/discharge system” that reduces the burden of the operator to decrease the work load and increase the productivity and efficiency. These functions play an active role.
Readily meeting requirements of various new materials, starting at paper
We cut not only paper but the grip of the golf club, fishing rod, industrial plastics and all other materials handled by us in daily life. The know-how of ITOTEC’s cutting machine is widely used for the cutting of various materials. Thickness varying among materials and complex resistance. Even higher-level functions are needed than those needed for paper. To meet these needs one by one deliberately, we improve the paper cutting machine and develop original machines specific for each material. Thanks to the history and accumulated wisdom, we can readily meet customers’ requests flexibly.
Toward new computer-aided system
The cutting machine was given birth in Germany together with the printing machine and has been developing in the history of the printing machine. The hydraulic technology was adopted in 1960s and a machine using magnetic tape was invented in 1963. Though gradual advance was observed, most people relied on hands and skills. An innovative advance was brought with the new idea and technology of ITOTEC. In 1972, a carefully programmed numerical control computer was installed in the cutting machine first in the world. The cutting machine was highly reputed as a history-changing, epoch-making system due to high performance and safety and no need for consumable parts. This technology propagated to other manufacturers because it was indispensable for the cutting machine. We kept promoting advance of the computer-aided cutting machine while combining the paper discharge/feed system, promoting a total computer-aided cutting system at the higher level.

  Put eyes on the global market as a unique specialist
Communication with the world
ITOTEC’s network covers every area on the earth including Europe, North America, South America, Near and Middle East, Asia, Africa and Australia. As the use of Internet propagates explosively, communications are exchanged in real time around the world. Comprehension of live information of various areas in the world and feedback of the information in the technical job site are one of important missions of communications. Starting with person-to-person access, we aim at global network. ITOTEC welcomes fresh sense for approaching the world.
It is interesting to be being different from the others
Original and bold ideas are needed for Design, and the role of a consultant for the customer with wide range of knowledge and information is needed for Sales, and reliable activity and all-round knowledge are indispensable for Service, and deliberate cautiousness and skills are needed for Assembly; various capabilities are needed in each field of “Large Cutting Machine.com.” The unknown possibility of the 21st century can be developed only by those having abundant creativity and flexible inspiration. We expect a lot to unique personnel who can wind up a new wave in the world of the cutting machine.
Youth not knowing hesitation is the power
At international printing equipment exhibition “IGAS” held in Tokyo once every four years, enthusiasm and various languages are exchanged in the site gathering the cutting-edge technology from all over the world. Young employees gathering at “Large Cutting Machine.com” are favored by visitors from all over the world with magnificent attitude. They eagerly and vividly explain products to customers from different countries with different cultural background and different languages, gesticulating with them. Their positive actions are backed not by language skills but by deep knowledge and love into their own products and young sensitivity not knowing hesitation. Young power filled with challenging spirits is needed.
