Poland Tokai Okaya Manufacturing in Lysomice produces metal pressed parts for Sharp Poland’s LCD module and TV production.
Established in 2007 with Okaya and Co. and Tokai Pressing Co. as its main shareholders, Poland Tokai Okaya Manufacturing (PTOM) is among the best examples of a successful Japanese investment in Poland.

Hideki Nakasone was asked to be PTOM’s president of the board after he showed Okaya and Co. his feasibility study, and convinced the company to invest $40 million in a facility to manufacture LCD TV parts.

Today, Nakasone manages 300 employees and heads the company’s factory, which produces and assembles metal pressed parts for Sharp Poland’s LCD module and TV production.

Located in Crystal Park, a special economic area in Lysomice, 200 km from Warsaw, PTOM wants to become the supplier of choice for prominent LCD TV producers and has emerged as a good example of high-quality Japanese manufacturing in the country.

"Since Day One, we intended to produce the highest-quality parts. We are proud of our relationship with Sharp, and now we want to increase our client base and work with other companies in Poland. We are also looking into working with Polish automotive manufacturers as we have the experience and technology to support this important industry," Nakasone says.

"In 2009, Poland has the opportunity to significantly develop its economy. The Polish people are hard working, kind, and have a long and rich history. In many ways, Polish and Japanese people have a great deal in common. We look forward to working closely together in the future to develop our company within the increasingly important Polish market," he adds.
