Antom Corporation
Company Profile
Founded 50 years ago, we are a leading manufacturer of small heating equipment that has spread its wings to the world with our technology and reliability.
What we have consistently faced is not just the act of "applying heat" itself, but the question of what kind of "heating process" is truly meaningful for our customers' processes.
Constraints on installation space, the reproducibility required in prototyping and evaluation processes, damage to materials and workpieces, and concerns about quality variations.
To address these unique challenges, Antom has designed the optimal heat transfer method for each application and process.
As a result, Antom's equipment is used in fields that require high reliability and a high level of control, such as the electronic components, semiconductor, automotive, medical, and materials industries.
In recent years, we have been designing equipment and building systems that take the global market into consideration, such as meeting the requirements of the semiconductor field, such as GEM communications and SEMI S2/S8, paying attention to high levels of cleanliness, and responding to safety concepts and traceability in the automotive and medical fields.
Under our slogan of "Revolution and innovation through heat," we will continue to support global manufacturing as a manufacturer that creates "equipment that will continue to be used on site," without being swayed by size or trends.
Representative message
Antom is a company that has been dealing with heating equipment for over 50 years since its founding. Having taken over the company from its founder, I now feel even more strongly that
Antom still has room to grow. And we can make it even more fun.
As times change and manufacturing sites evolve, we believe that what is required is not “size” or “quantity,” but the ability to quickly create equipment that truly suits the process. Antom’s expertise in small reflow ovens and heating equipment is right in the middle of this change. From prototyping, evaluation, and reliability testing to pre-mass production processes, there is limited space, strict quality requirements, and reproducibility. We have been facing these real voices from the field head-on.
There is one question I always ask myself when making business decisions.
That is, “What is best for the site? And what is best for the customer?”
We don’t stick to standard products, but also take on customization and special orders seriously.
We want to continue to be the company of choice even in the tough world of semiconductors, automotive, and medical.
Although I am still an inexperienced manager, I want our company to be one that is unafraid of change and continues to take on challenges together with its employees, using speed as its weapon.
In the future, Antom will evolve from being a “pioneer in small heating equipment” to “a company that creates optimal solutions for heating processes.”
We aim to be a company that remains essential to manufacturing around the world, valuing technology, people, and honesty in the workplace above all else.
We look forward to your continued support of Antom Co., Ltd.
