What 株式会社メイテック does
株式会社メイテック (Meitech Co., Ltd.) is a privately held Japanese specialty foam processing manufacturer headquartered in Iga City, Mie Prefecture. Founded in March 1980 as 名阪産業 (Meihan Sangyo) and rebranded under its current name in 1994 upon relocation to its present facility, the company operates a second manufacturing site, the Ujitawara Factory. As of April 2022 it employed 21 people.
The company's core offering is contract processing of soft urethane foam, polyurethane foam, polyethylene foam, and non-woven fabrics, supplied by major Japanese material manufacturers such as Achilles, Inoac, Kuraray, Sekisui Chemical, JSP, and Sakai Chemical. Processing capabilities include vertical slicing (漉き), hydraulic die-cutting (打ち抜き), hot pressing (1200x2100mm work size), hot-melt bonding, profile cutting for 凹凸 patterns, and grinding for R-edge finishing — all performed in-house through an integrated production workflow from material block receipt to inspection, packing, and shipment. Output is delivered either as finished products (beat boards, yoga mats, joint mats) or as high-quality semi-finished material for customers who complete final assembly in-house. The company obtained MVSS flame retardant certification in 1982 for its self-manufactured chip blocks.
Commercially, Meitech runs a direct B2B sales motion targeting Japanese manufacturing companies, taking inquiries via phone (0595-21-8411) and a web contact form. It is a privately held company with no stock exchange listing, no disclosed institutional investors, and no funding rounds. Representative Director and CEO 栂原 隆 (Sugihara Takashi) leads the firm, which is a member of the Kansai Urethane Foam Processing Cooperative Association (joined 2005). No revenue is publicly disclosed, and the company's geographic scope is limited to the Kansai region of Japan.

株式会社メイテック competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Foam Fabricators, Inc. North American foam conversion and fabrication specialist serving protective packaging, cold chain, and automotive customers via molding, die-cutting, and CNC fabrication. Closest functional analog to Meitech in terms of converting raw foam blocks into finished, customer-specified components.
Broad incumbents
- Sealed Air Corporation: Global packaging company producing protective foam packaging, including Ethafoam polyethylene plank and fabricated foam components. Comparable through foam conversion activities targeting protective packaging and industrial cushioning use cases served by Meitech.
- Pregis LLC: Global protective packaging manufacturer producing EPS, EPE, and polyurethane foam-based packaging inserts, sheets, and fabricated components. Comparable as a foam converter at much larger scale serving similar protective-packaging and industrial end markets.
- Nitto Denko Corporation: Japanese industrial materials manufacturer producing foam tapes, cushioning materials, and converted foam components for automotive, electronics, and construction. Comparable through its in-house foam conversion and bonding capabilities that overlap with Meitech's slicing and hot-bonding processes.
- Kaneka Corporation: Japanese chemical manufacturer producing specialty foam resins (including modified polyethylene foams and urethane systems) used in industrial and consumer applications. Comparable through overlapping polyurethane and polyethylene foam product lines and customer segments.
- Achilles Corporation: Long-established Japanese foam and urethane products manufacturer producing soft and rigid PU foams, PE foams, and specialty materials. Comparable as an upstream foam supplier and direct customer of Meitech, while also being a vertically integrated competitor for foam conversion work.
- Sekisui Chemical Co., Ltd. Large diversified Japanese chemical manufacturer with a foam products division (Sekisui Voltek, Espeleta foam) producing PE foam materials. Comparable as a foam material supplier and large-scale converter; supplies Meitech as a customer but also performs in-house conversion.
- Inoac Corporation: Japanese manufacturer of polyurethane, polyethylene, and rubber foam products serving automotive, bedding, and industrial markets. Operates both as a major foam material supplier to Meitech and as a competing converter with in-house processing capabilities.
- JSP Corporation: Major Japanese manufacturer of polyethylene, polyurethane, and polystyrene foam products used in packaging, automotive, and construction. Directly comparable to Meitech as both an upstream foam producer and an existing Meitech customer; demonstrates the integrated foam-processing model at scale.
Others
- Kuraray Co., Ltd. Japanese specialty chemical company producing resins, fibers, and foam-related materials including man-made leather and urethane-based products. Comparable as a material supplier relationship and existing Meitech customer; functions in Meitech's ecosystem as a feedstock/material source rather than a direct converter.
