What DPT does

DPT (ディーピーティー株式会社) is a Nagoya-headquartered Japanese engineering services and business outsourcing firm established on January 31, 1989. It operates four interlocking business pillars serving Japanese manufacturers: (1) engineer dispatch placing technical staff into automotive, home appliance, aerospace, and industrial robotics design and development roles; (2) manufacturing worker dispatch, fee-based recruitment introduction (license 23-ユ-300970), and contract work (派遣 license 派23-301276) for factory floors across semiconductor, precision equipment, logistics, and security; (3) R&D contract development covering ECU development, mobility development, ISO26262 functional safety with FSCP-certified engineers, systems development, and smart factory automation including AGV control and automated inspection; and (4) operated job media including Job Con Plus (manufacturing, driver, and security verticals), Shigoto Megumi for factory work with accommodation, and Job Con Skill for certification guidance. Beyond these four pillars, DPT runs an in-house AI-lab research division and an e-minori smart agriculture environmental control platform.

The company earns revenue through hourly staffing margins on dispatched engineers and manufacturing workers, project-based and time-and-materials R&D contracts, placement fees from licensed recruitment introductions, employer-side job posting fees on its media platforms, and hardware/software sales of proprietary products such as e-minori. Distribution is mixed: dedicated enterprise sales lines per business unit for corporate clients, and self-serve digital portals (job-con.jp and 4510093.com) for individual job seekers. Go-to-market is single-country (Japan) and enterprise-anchored, with a customer roster including Toyota Motor, Honda, Denso, Sony, Mitsubishi Electric, Tokyo Electron, Kubota, Daikin, Kawasaki Heavy Industries, and Suzuki.

DPT is privately held with no parent company, no disclosed external funding, and no public listing. Its geographic footprint is nationwide Japan with headquarters in Nagoya, a Tokyo regional office in Osaki Wiz Tower, and field-deployed engineering staff spanning Shizuoka to Kyushu. The company employs 501-1000 people and was certified as a METI Health Management Excellence Corporation 2026. The current President and Representative Director is Shoichiro Takemoto, who assumed the role in 2024 with a stated focus on AI-driven service innovation.
