Creating a Company with Advanced Research and Development
Satake recognizes its investment in research and development as the driving force behind the company's success. Over 300 engineers conduct research at the Engineering Division in Hiroshima. The company holds over 3,000 patents. Satake's basic development concept is to improve customer's satisfaction by shifting from macro-technology, where rice is considered as a whole, to micro-technology, where rice kernels are individually recognized. Today, Satake is dedicating itself to nano-technology and its relation to agricultural chemicals, bacteria, and components of grains.
The Sorting and Processing Integrated Center is designed to determine the effectiveness and optimal setting of our sorting and processing machinery by sorting and processing materials supplied by our clients. The center has tested a wide range of materials, not only rice and wheat, but also beans, foodstuff, plastic pellets, recycled resin, and other products.
