Tools for drilling holes in bedrock, called bits and rods, are widely used in civil engineering work such as mining, stone crushing and tunnelling. Demand for these tools is rising due to the growth of infrastructure development. Consequently, there’s a need to provide products that meet customer needs and establish a stable manufacturing supply.

Since its establishment in 1997, OTEC has steadily grown as MMC RYOTEC’s overseas manufacturing base for construction tools. The new plant is scheduled to start operation in October 2025 and will be equipped with new machining and heat treatment facilities. As demand grows, production capacity is expected to be doubled.
