The reason why Castem started agriculture

Agriculture Projects Have Started from One Employee’s Idea
In 2015, we asked our employees for some ideas for new businesses under the title of “Dream Meeting”, and one of the ideas was “agriculture.”
The reason why we participated in the agricultural business was to give our employees some options for the way they work. Also, it could create jobs and lead to the revitalization of the local industry. In fact, many employees living in Jinsekikogen are working at the farm actively.
“Jinseki Strawberry Farm” is located in Jinsekikogen, Hiroshima Prefecture.
One of the main industries of the town is agriculture with the rich natural environment. There are many local specialties such as tomatoes which are grown with clean water and shining sun.
Also, we have a connection with Jinsekikogen since we have managed the “Toyomatsu paper airplane tower” in Toyomatsu, Jinsekikogen, so we decided to start farming there for the further revitalization of the town.
Then, why did we choose strawberries among many other crops?
This is because the climate of the town is suitable for growing delicious strawberries.
Jinsekikogen is located at a high altitude, so it is cool in summer, and marked temperature swings adapt to good strawberries.

We manufacture metal parts for all industries such as printing machines, machine tools, automatic machines, semiconductors, and medical equipment by precision casting (lost wax casting) and MIM (metal injection molding). Also, we are good at manufacturing complex and the variety of products in small lots.
Based on our belief that “we make a serious effort to create something”, we will continue to be involved in agriculture by utilizing our know-how such as data analysis and quality control in the manufacturing industry.
