Culture

Cars that are, more than anything else, fun to drive
Cars that are good for both society and the people in it
And more than anything, cars that make the air cleaner the more they are driven.
Cars that work in harmony with nature
We will play our role, proactively pushing our limits to provide strong support for building 21st century cars.
That is the kind of company that Surteckariya is trying to build.

To do this, we are striving to make our workplace one that is full of energy and passion fueled employees, a workplace that fosters imagination and creativity, and a safe workplace that coexists in harmony with society and the environment with no accidents and zero emissions.

Let’s grow together as human beings while taking part in the making nice cars.

A capable employee is one that works with a passion for craftsmanship, is sensitive to the slightest of changes, and has the habit of thinking about the “why?” of everything.

A capable employee is one that can synergize their own experience, knowledge, and personal connections to find the path to solving a problem, and take measures to do so.

This is the power of working directly on site, and is the driving force behind craftsmanship.

Our employees carry the responsibility of running a 21st century enterprise. Another basic quality that we expect from them is human will.

Especially in this 21st century of intensifying turmoil, positive thinking, an optimistic career outlook, and humanity are always desirable characteristics. It is that human will that can bring a company away from self-righteousness. It is the driving force that creates a better society.

That is the kind of employee that Surteckariya needs for its modern workforce.

Cultivation of Human Resources

“A Company is its People”――To live up to this ideal, Surteckariya has training programs to develop its
human resources.

Certified Technician
Starting with acquisition of plating techniques, the employee will build a wide body of knowledge through on site, real work experience. Then, they will work toward becoming a nationally certified technician. We run the training program with the belief that employees can develop their abilities through their own awareness. We have also implemented a goal setting system that helps employees tackle their work with both honesty and responsibility. Through these experiences and lessons, employees can grow into group leaders.

General Manager
After developing the personal responsibility that comes from managing one’s own goals, general manager is the next step. A general manager is a high-level supervisor, so to speak. In world where global manufacturing has become the norm, the level of management of our customer companies is rising rapidly. It is urgently necessary that we also increase the level of our management. We need to develop personnel that can manage overseas locations as soon as possible. A general manager needs to first acquire knowledge of plating, they need to be able to manage quality, manpower, and production. In addition to this, they also need to master cost management and labor management. Through their daily duties and training, the employee will make each of these skills his own, develop his self-awareness, and grow into a general manager with a sense of duty.
