R&D Structure
Reporting directly to the president, the Research & Development Department puts together research policy and strategy for the Oiles Group as a whole and takes them forward in a unified way across the company. The department is engaged in a wide range of research and analysis under the following R&D structure to pursue not only a range of materials including plastic and metals, but also tribology and damping materials such as seismic isolation and vibration control sliding materials and vibration reduction components.

R&D
Based on the distinctive technologies and various expertise we have accumulated since our founding, the R&D Department has leveraged its diverse research facilities to meet the needs of the times, sometimes create the technology required by society, and develop new products, technologies, and materials. As a venue for producing the inquisitive minds and enterprising attitudes that have been the driving force behind these ambitious activities, we are engaged in R&D daily in the R&D Building at the Fujisawa Plant, that forms our R&D base in pursuit of further technological innovation. The results of our R&D are then taken from Fujisawa to the rest of Japan, and then from Japan to the world.
