Industrial power transmission and factory automation manufacturer
Tsubakimoto Chain is a century-old machinery manufacturer scaling internal automation while managing significant infrastructure and IP workload growth. The tech stack reveals a transitional organization: legacy COBOL and VB.NET alongside modern C and Java, plus heavy adoption of UiPath and Power Automate for RPA, with active projects in security auditing, vulnerability remediation, and web system migration. Engineering dominates hiring (19 of 32 open roles), but concurrent projects in HR system migration and IP infrastructure suggest operational friction points.
