June 1, 2018

Exhibition facility commemorates 70th anniversary of founding

On April 18, 2018, Amada Holdings opened the “Amada Memorial Hall” on the grounds of its head office in Isehara City, Kanagawa Prefecture. The memorial hall was established as part of the company’s 70th anniversary commemorative program, which was celebrated in 2016.

Machines and history on display

Inside the memorial hall, visitors can find historical machines such as lathes used by founder Isamu Amada, as well as a range of key metal processing machines developed by the Amada Group. This is the company’s first large-scale facility dedicated to showcasing its contributions to the metalworking industry.

The exhibition introduces the company’s technological heritage using projection mapping and automatic voice guidance systems. The building itself is designed in a traditional Japanese style, surrounded by a Japanese garden to create a tranquil environment.

Ceremony and future plans

The opening ceremony took place on the same day, attended by approximately 50 guests including Chairman Mitsuo Okamoto and President Tsutomu Isobe of Amada HD, as well as local government officials and construction partners. For the time being, the hall will be accessible only to business partners and stakeholders, with plans to open it to the public beginning in April 2019.
