Fuji Spring Corporation, founded in 1960, is a manufacturer specializing in precision metal components. Initially a spring manufacturer, the company has evolved its offerings to include precision press and deep drawing processing, precision molds and jigs, and nickel plating. The firm holds a significant market share in Japan for manufacturing cell cases and covers for automotive batteries. Its business operations serve sectors such as environmentally friendly vehicles, consumer electronics, and precision equipment.
The company's history is marked by a strategic decision to focus on in-house production and technological development rather than relocating operations overseas. This "in-house principle" has enabled the company to develop key products like rectangular aluminum cases for mobile phone lithium batteries, where it once held a 25% global market share, and later, cases for vehicle-mounted lithium-ion batteries. A key milestone includes a capital and business alliance with Toyota Tsusho Corporation in May 2025 to strengthen the automotive battery supply chain. This partnership followed the establishment of a joint venture in the U.S. in July 2023, FUJIHATSU & TOYOTSU Battery Components, North Carolina LLC.
Fuji Spring operates on a business model of integrated in-house production, from die and mold design and manufacturing to press processing, surface treatment, and assembly of automatic machines. This one-stop service allows the company to provide customized solutions from development and prototyping to mass production. The company serves major consumer electronics and heavy electrical appliance manufacturers, with a significant focus on the automotive industry, including components for airbags and next-generation vehicle batteries. Recent expansions include new plants in Kameyama, Mie Prefecture (2020), and the establishment of subsidiaries in the USA (2022) and India (2023).
