Operations

Since its inception, MUTOH has been a pioneer in the drafting and design equipment industry. In 1953 MUTOH developed the DrafterR, Japan’s first drafting machine. MUTOH followed this hit product with automatic drafting machines, the forerunner of today’s plotters and a presage of today’s CAD era. Later we created the The PJ-1304 solvent printer, Japan’s first largeformat inkjet printer for outdoor applications, building new value for the world of graphic arts. This consistent ability to breathe new life into the industry in each era is the knowledge that MUTOH continues to pass on to its Imaging and Information Business.
The Imaging and Information Business consists of three core businesses.
Our Graphics business is focused on large-format inkjet printers, which are used in applications ranging from gigantic outdoor billboards to indoor visual environments. In our CAD peripheral equipment business, we serve modern design and drafting needs with inkjet plotters, pen plotters, fullcolor scanners, and much more. Consumables and other supplies for the first two businesses are provided through our Supply business. With a seamlessly integrated system from hardware and software to supplies, MUTOH’s information imaging equipment business serves professional needs with uncanny accuracy.

Using the same viewpoint it takes with manufacturers, MUTOH listens to the voices of design and manufacturing worksites to develop ITsolutions that bring real improvements to the efficiency of customer operations. As an acknowledged leader in printers and plotters, MUTOH Industries delivers information services that competitors can’t match. Ever since its exclusive development of the M-Draf16 CAD system, MUTOH has consistently created IT solutions closely focused on the real needs of the workplace.
Today, many companies face a formidable dilemma. As competition intensifies, many firms are seeking to boost efficiency by upgrading their 2D CAD systems to 3D CAD. At the same time, Japan’s design and manufacturing processes continue to require 2D CAD to relay vital process information. MUTOH resolves this contradiction with M-Draf Suite, an integrated package that combines a 3D modeler used worldwide with 2D CAD conforming strictly to JIS specifications. By fusing 2D and 3D CAD, MUTOH has established a new standard in CAD. Moreover, by utilizing the expertise gained in producing this system, MUTOH is expanding beyond the design field to offer broadbased data management in areas such as product management and device management. The result is a growing series of total business solutions.
