Japanese Kit Seiko's Titanium Bolt Flies in the Universe
Last year Japan launched the Asteroid Explorer "Hayabusa2", of which the components are a combined craft of multiple small and medium enterprises. Kit Seiko Corporation is one of them. The company specializes in cutting and rolling process. Its main products are screws and bolts supplied to factories, railways, semi-conductor and related industries. Specifically, its revenue from the universe industry takes a substantial quota. Besides "Hayabusa2", the company also supplies to satellites. Japan launches a couple of satellites a year. From prototype to the final version of the satellite, Kit Seiko is involved and supplies fasteners accordingly in the form of hundreds or thousands pieces per order, or sometime even a single piece per order.
