Clean Room
Watson products are used in life science research for testing biological substances such as DNA. To prevent contamination of products by factory workers, clean rooms have been set up in the factory, and manufacturing lines have been automated to maintain a high level of cleanliness.
To manufacture RNase-free / DNase-free / Human-DNA-free products, the molding machines are housed in a cleanroom maintained at a high cleanliness level of class 100,000.
The cleanroom allows entry only to trained staff and is strictly controlled.
In the second factory, additional class 10,000 rooms are available, enabling production at an even higher level of cleanliness.
Automated Production Equipment
With a primary focus on consistently delivering high-quality products, we have automated most of our manufacturing lines and achieved a highly sophisticated environment.

Qualified Plastic Molding Technicians
To ensure better product manufacturing, it is essential to have excellent facilities and machinery, but equally important is the presence of skilled operators to maintain and manage them. At Fukae-kasei, we prioritize employee training with this in mind.
Employees involved in molding operations take the national exam for Plastic Molding Skills Certification, with successful candidates being produced every year.
Additionally, we actively organize training sessions for the operation of newly introduced machinery, fostering a united effort across the company to strive for better product manufacturing.
