Seika’s Manufacturer Awarded Prime Minister’s Green Campaign Award

4 February 2010

Seika Machinery Inc announces that HIOKI, the manufacturer of the company's 1240 Hioki Flying Probe Tester and ICT systems, was nominated as one of the recipients of the 2009 Green Campaign Award of the office of the Japanese Prime Minister.

The award ceremony, with the Emperor and Empress of Japan in attendance, was held in April 2009 with HIOKI represented by its President, Tatsuyoshi Yoshiike.

The Prime Minister’s Green Campaign Award is presented to individuals and organizations that exhibit distinguished achievement towards greening efforts. A total of 13 awards were presented to persons, schools and organizations, as well as local public groups, based on recommendations by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry.

HIOKI was highly evaluated and selected to receive this award based on its continued efforts to contribute to afforestation efforts around its factory. When the HIOKI factory moved to its current location in 1988, much of the original natural forest had to be destroyed.

With the aim of restoring the forest, HIOKI planted approximately 60,000 seedlings at the construction site. Since then, additional trees have been planted to culminate an approximated total of 80,000 trees over the roughly 52,000 sqm campus. HIOKI also has contributed to the local community through greening efforts and has established a scholarship fund ― all with the aim of being at one with the surrounding community.
