Established in 1950, Sanwa Seiki has a solid reputation in automotive and other key industries, and has the technical and product knowledge that customers have come to expect from the Drake brand. With its principal office in Nagoya, Japan, Sanwa Seiki is well positioned to bring Drake's service to its Japanese customer base.
