WELCOME TO OMTRI ORGANIZATION HISTORY AREA AND SCALE ACTIVITIES OF THE INSTITUTE DEPARTMENT

　The prosperity of our society lies in the development of industries, with the advancement of
technology, an indispensable driving force. The current situation of gradual economic growth calls for
qualitative progress in the development of industry, with an emphasis on pioneering and upgrading
technology, not on quantitative expansion. The importance of technology will be increasingly felt in the
future.
  The Osaka Municipal Technical Research Institute was founded in 1916 with the principal
objective of promoting and advancing the manufacturing industries of Osaka. Since then, we have
performed comprehensive technological services through our success in developing much innovative
technology based on fundamental studies and their application. This has won for us an international
reputation both academically and industrially. The Institute also promotes international friendship
through technical cooperation with many developing countries round the world.
  The buildings and facilities of the Institute were reconstructed in 1982 to meet the demands
for more advanced technological services. In order to contribute to the future development of
industries in this rapidly advancing technological age, we are endeavoring to develop our ability to the
fullest in the hope that it will be positively implemented by the industrial community.
