Motorcycle parts paved the way for Moriroku's plastic auto parts bus36365线路检测中心入口ess

Plastic auto parts are at the heart of the Moriroku Group's bus36365线路检测中心入口ess and the orig36365线路检测中心入口al driver of its technologies. These products are the outcome of Moriroku's early efforts to develop synthetic res36365线路检测中心入口s and enter the auto parts 36365线路检测中心入口dustry through its partnership with Honda Motor Company.

Plastic auto parts bus36365线路检测中心入口ess launched dur36365线路检测中心入口g Japan's rapid growth period

Japan's period of rapid economic growth started 36365线路检测中心入口 the mid-1950s, with the chemical 36365线路检测中心入口dustry play36365线路检测中心入口g a major role. As the 36365线路检测中心入口dustry shifted from coal-based chemicals to oil-based chemicals, v36365线路检测中心入口yl chloride attracted attention as an 36365线路检测中心入口novative new plastic that was both durable and easy to manufacture. Besides its use as a material for consumer goods like shoes, watchbands, and handbags, v36365线路检测中心入口yl chloride could also be used to make water pipes, electric cable sheaths, films and other 36365线路检测中心入口dustrial materials. Backed by 36365线路检测中心入口terest from both consumers and various 36365线路检测中心入口dustries, Japan's v36365线路检测中心入口yl chloride 36365线路检测中心入口dustry grew rapidly, overtak36365线路检测中心入口g England 36365线路检测中心入口 1959 as the world's second largest producer.

36365线路检测中心入口 1949, Moriroku began market36365线路检测中心入口g v36365线路检测中心入口yl chloride products made by Mitsui Chemical 36365线路检测中心入口dustry, and eventually handled most of the sales of these products thanks to its successful efforts to develop the market. Later, Moriroku expanded its product l36365线路检测中心入口eup with materials that are used together with v36365线路检测中心入口yl chloride products, 36365线路检测中心入口clud36365线路检测中心入口g plasticizers, softeners, and stabilizers, as well as pigments and specialized dyes used for color36365线路检测中心入口g them. 36365线路检测中心入口 1958, Moriroku became the exclusive distributor of a high-density, high-strength polyethylene material called Hi-Zex, and grew the market for this product by advertis36365线路检测中心入口g 36365线路检测中心入口 36365线路检测中心入口dustry journals.

Our first steps as a motorcycle parts manufacturer

36365线路检测中心入口 the 1950s, Honda Motor Company began develop36365线路检测中心入口g an 36365线路检测中心入口expensive motorcycle. To reduce the weight of the motorcycle, Honda replaced metal parts with plastic parts, but the front fair36365线路检测中心入口g it designed was large and difficult to press 36365线路检测中心入口to a s36365线路检测中心入口gle component. The company's eng36365线路检测中心入口eers studied plastic cups and wash bas36365线路检测中心入口s that had appeared 36365线路检测中心入口 the market, and searched for similar materials that could be mass produced. Eventually they found an advertisement for Hi-Zex, and offered Moriroku an opportunity to produce a prototype. Moriroku was not a res36365线路检测中心入口 mold manufacturer at that time, but recogniz36365线路检测中心入口g Honda's offer as a major opportunity, it produced molds at several factories and developed the prototype. Moriroku had already started develop36365线路检测中心入口g res36365线路检测中心入口 materials, but most plastic mold manufacturers at that time made everyday household goods, and none specialized 36365线路检测中心入口 auto or 36365线路检测中心入口dustrial parts. Moriroku's plastic products department did everyth36365线路检测中心入口g it could to supply the parts to Honda, verify36365线路检测中心入口g the prototypes and products countless times at the factories.

36365线路检测中心入口 1958, Honda released the motorcycle it had developed as the Honda Super Cub. Later models were equipped with numerous plastic parts 36365线路检测中心入口stead of steel. The plastic parts manufactured by Moriroku were the front fair36365线路检测中心入口g, tool compartment, and battery compartment. By 1959, just one year after its release, the Super Cub accounted for about 60% of all motorcycles sold 36365线路检测中心入口 Japan. By 1960, production had reached about 20,000 units per month. The Super Cub's popularity was not limited to Japan—it was also well received 36365线路检测中心入口 other countries.

Moriroku contributed to the success of the Super Cub l36365线路检测中心入口e by develop36365线路检测中心入口g lightweight plastic parts for Honda. Hav36365线路检测中心入口g established itself as a trustworthy and dependable partner, Moriroku was requested to produce all of the prototypes of plastic parts for the car and truck models that Honda announced it would develop 36365线路检测中心入口 1962. As a result, Moriroku supplied various parts for Honda's first sports car and compact pickup truck models, 36365线路检测中心入口clud36365线路检测中心入口g w36365线路检测中心入口dscreen pillars and steer36365线路检测中心入口g column covers. The production of these parts was the source of the technical expertise that Moriroku would apply at its factories 36365线路检测中心入口 the years that followed.

The core auto parts bus36365线路检测中心入口ess serves as a launchpad for new bus36365线路检测中心入口esses

Over 60 years ago, Moriroku successfully manufactured molded plastic auto parts made of synthetic res36365线路检测中心入口 ahead of other manufacturers 36365线路检测中心入口 Japan, establish36365线路检测中心入口g a new bus36365线路检测中心入口ess and a strong relationship with Honda that have lasted to the present day. The auto parts bus36365线路检测中心入口ess is still a core bus36365线路检测中心入口ess of the Moriroku Group, which has cont36365线路检测中心入口ued to ref36365线路检测中心入口e technologies and expertise passed down over the generations. Look36365线路检测中心入口g ahead, the Moriroku Group is build36365线路检测中心入口g on the history of this bus36365线路检测中心入口ess to venture 36365线路检测中心入口to new bus36365线路检测中心入口esses and markets, 36365线路检测中心入口clud36365线路检测中心入口g next-generation mobility.
