Tenryu Saw Mfg. Co., Ltd., founded in 1913, is a distinguished global manufacturer specializing in the research, development, and production of circular saw blades and various cutting tools. With a history spanning over 110 years, the company has evolved from a local pioneer in Shizuoka, Japan, into a premier world-class player listed on the Standard Market of the Tokyo Stock Exchange. Tenryu Saw is recognized not only for its technical excellence but also for its exceptional financial stability, maintaining a debt-free status and an impressively high equity ratio for many decades.
The cornerstone of Tenryu’s success is its integrated production system. Unlike many competitors who outsource critical processes, Tenryu handles every stage of manufacturing—from the heat treatment (quenching) of raw steel plates to precision grinding and final quality inspection—within its own state-of-the-art facilities. This "in-house" philosophy allows for total control over quality and enables the development of proprietary alloys and tooth geometries that can handle the most demanding industrial applications. The "PAS" brand mark, which symbolizes the calipers used for precision measurement in the company's early years, is stamped on every blade as a guarantee of superior accuracy, durability, and performance.
Tenryu's product portfolio caters to a diverse range of industries. While its roots are in woodworking, the company has successfully expanded into high-growth sectors such as ferrous and non-ferrous metal cutting, plastics, ceramics, paper, and even food processing. Its carbide-tipped saws and diamond tools are essential in the manufacturing of automobiles, electronics, and infrastructure. Tenryu does not simply sell products; it provides "cutting solutions." By working closely with clients to analyze specific material properties and cutting conditions, Tenryu’s engineers provide technical consultancy to optimize production efficiency and minimize waste.
Strategically, Tenryu has built a robust global network to serve its international clientele. With major subsidiaries in the United States (Hebron, KY), Germany, China, Thailand, and India, the company ensures rapid delivery and localized technical support. This global presence allows Tenryu to stay ahead of regional industrial trends and adapt its research and development (R&D) efforts to the specific needs of diverse markets. The company currently employs approximately 1,000 people worldwide, fostering a culture of innovation and craftsmanship that bridges traditional skills with modern automation.
Environmental sustainability is also a key pillar of Tenryu’s corporate identity. By producing tools that offer longer lifespans and providing expert re-sharpening services, the company helps its customers reduce their environmental footprint and conserve resources. Tenryu Saw Mfg. Co., Ltd. continues to stand at the forefront of the "cutting and processing" industry, driven by a spirit of endless challenge and a commitment to supporting global manufacturing through unrivaled precision and reliability. As the company moves forward, it remains dedicated to its founding principles while embracing the challenges of the next century.
