Chino corporation
Chino Corporation is a professional manufacturer of measuring/controlling INSTRUMENTS and instrumentation system. Chino is engaged in manufacturing and supplying in wide range of temperature sensors as thermocouple, radiation pyrometer and thermal imaging system with infrared technology, moisture/humidity sensor, recorder,temperature controller, wireless module which send the measured value in wireless and test/evaluation system for fuel cell and compressor calorimeter. Further Chino manufactures and supplies calibration system for measuring instruments and does calibration of traceability test, has been working as a JCSS certified suppliers.
In 1913, Kazuo Chino founded private company named Chino Works at Shitaya, Tokyo. He started manufacture and sell chemical machinery and rubber products first. Then he manufacture and sell physics and chemistry instruments, electric furnace/thermostatic bath and measuring instruments though, the factory was burnt down by Great Kanto Earthquake in 1923. He built new factory at Nakamaru, Itabashi and resumed business again. In 1936, established STOCK organization named Chino Works, Ltd. The new factory was burnt down again by the air raid of Second World War though, restarted business limited to measuring instruments. In that case original electronic recorder and oscillation type indicating controller were a big hit with commercialization.
In 1962, listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, Second Section, in 1979 listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, First Section. In 1986, name changed to CHINO Corporation to commemorate the 50th anniversary. By spreading product range to infrared thermometer, thermal imaging system, testing/controlling equipment and Fuel Cell performance testing equipment, Chino had actual sales results to most of domestic automobile manufacturer and the affiliated manufacturers in Japan. CHINO has 12 subsidiary companies including 6 global, 3 domestic factories, 21 domestic sales branches and 37 overseas dealers/distributors in 34 countries to the present.

Main business and products
Measurement and control equipment
Recorder, controller and consumer equipment are in this category, Chino is supported by steady clientele called CHINO FAN. Recently, thermal imaging Camera named [Easy Thermo TP-S] released in April 2014 won the Good Design Award 2014 (Award No.14G070547) in category of equipment and facilities for manufacture, development or production.
Sensor
By evaluating wide range of products, the high durability, reliability and technical capabilities from the lower range product of contact-type temperature sensor to higher thermal imaging system through non-contact radiation thermometer in the products, the name of CHINO is known and very famous in industrial field as “Chino is the expert of Temperature”. Recently fire detection system is attracting attention for coal storage facility/silo and garbage pit.
Instrumentation system
Chino Corporation develop, manufacture and supply engineering testing equipment such as Fuel-Cell performance testing equipment, compressor calorimeter, semi-conductor/electronics performance testing equipment, control/monitoring, clean-room, temperature calibration device, etc. And calibration equipment has been adopted as national standard not only in domestic national standard institute but in overseas one.
Calibration For maintain accuracy of temperature/moisture measuring CHINO has been registered as a temperature/moisture calibration laboratory under JCSS. also CHINO has acquired”MRA approved member” under ISO/IEC17025 and issue a calibration certificate with the JCSS approved symbol mark.more ever, CHINO conduct wide variety of calibration other than JCSS to temperature sensor, radiation thermometer and humidity meter. Since the common use of management system such as ISO9001, ISO14001 and ISO/TS16949, the importance of traceability is becoming more and more important. So we are supporting to Access of the traceability to the national standards.

Award and Reward.
Recently, thermal image temperature checker [Easy Thermo TP-S] won the Good Design Award 2014 (Award No.14G070547) in category of Equipment and facilities for manufacture, development or production.
Because it is possible to capture the temperature in terms not a point, has been recognized, such as the body surface temperature check equipment and monitoring, in a wide range of fields today but it is expensive operation is large and complex, research institutions and some companies image of thing to use.
