Frequently Asked Questions

There are no fees beyond the quoted price. Consultation and engineering proposals are free of charge. For prototyping or small-batch orders not intended for mass production, the minimum quote is ¥90,000 (approx. $600 USD). We aim to deliver pricing that is competitive with or better than your existing supply chain for high-volume orders.

We handle metals, resins, and advanced materials. Our capabilities include cold forging, die casting, CNC machining, metal stamping, MIM (Metal Injection Molding), sintering, precision screws & fasteners, springs, resin molding, and assembly. We manage the full process from design improvement and prototyping to mass production, quality control, and delivery.

MONOCON is a manufacturing partner, not a consulting firm. We don't just propose improvements — we execute them. Using our network of 1,000+ partner manufacturers and our own engineering expertise, we handle actual production, quality management, and delivery. Our parent company, Tokyo Byokane, has been manufacturing since 1941.

Yes. With over 20 locations worldwide, we support global manufacturing and direct delivery. Our network spans Japan, USA, Mexico, Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, China, Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia, and Taiwan. We also help with country risk mitigation and supply chain diversification strategies.

Yes, we accept prototyping and small-batch orders. For prototypes not intended for mass production, the minimum quote is ¥90,000 (approx. $600 USD). If the prototype is a step toward mass production, we can propose the optimal manufacturing method from the start to ensure a smooth transition to volume production.

We provide an initial response within 24 hours of receiving your inquiry. A detailed quotation with engineering proposals typically takes 3–7 business days, depending on the complexity of the parts and the level of design review required. Rush quotations can be accommodated for urgent projects.

Our parent company, Tokyo Byokane Co., Ltd., holds ISO 9001 (Quality Management), ISO 14001 (Environmental Management), and IATF 16949 (Automotive Quality Management) certifications. Our partner manufacturers are selected and audited to meet the same rigorous quality standards.

We primarily work with companies targeting annual transactions of ¥1,000,000+ (approx. $7,000 USD). This is a guideline rather than a strict requirement. For prototyping or small-batch orders, the minimum quote amount is ¥90,000 (approx. $600 USD).
