Since Progress Technologies was founded in 2005, we have been striving to create novel value and experience while facilitating the evolution of monozukuri, through co-creation involving various people and companies in the manufacturing sector.

In keeping with its values calling for exhilaration, challenge, and commitment to thoroughness, Progress Technologies has been leveraging its outstanding technological skills to jointly examine and reform design and development methods with its customers, while also undertaking such projects of its own. The company prides itself on being a unique total solution provider, offering one-stop services ranging from consultancy to actual design task execution, specializing in design and development.

Having recently shifted to a group-based organizational structure, Progress Technologies aims to strategically accelerate its exhilarating technological pursuit and achieve further growth.

The launch of S&VL Inc. is the first such initiative of Progress Technologies, which specializes in providing virtual testing services to various Japanese automakers and automotive suppliers, using state-of-the-art driving simulators. Management aims to start with project-based operations so that its team of experts can grow and turn the business into a commercial success, thereby enhancing the company’s enterprise value.

The world is undergoing a major transformation. As the conventional model of competition, where each company develops products using its own technological and human resources and competes with the rest, becomes increasingly obsolete, we are shifting to this new societal model of co-creation, which involves multiple enterprises to come together, make technological and human capital contributions under each project, and create innovative products at an accelerated pace.

When attempting to transform oneself, take on a new challenge, or create something that is truly novel, taking that first step requires tremendous courage. But positive changes occur in society and a better future is created thanks to taking that first step.

The word “progress” in the company name is a constant reminder of its purpose, i.e., to achieve incremental improvement, advancement, and evolution. The company strives to be a good partner for its customers and be willing and capable of taking the first step with them, sharing in their challenges, and advancing the future of monozukuri together.

We remain committed to continuously taking on new challenges, with courage, conviction, and a proper attitude.
