Automotive Body Die Development Solution, IJS Sets the Standard.

IJS Factory

IJS has continued investment and research to provide optimized solutions for our customers' needs. Since our founding as a die manufacturing division in 1986, we have accumulated nearly four decades of expertise in automotive stamping technology.

Established as an independent corporation in 2014, IJS has grown into a Grade 1 die manufacturing enterprise, equipped with both hot stamping and cold stamping die technologies. We operate a fully integrated one-stop system — from product analysis and CAE simulation through 3D die design, precision CNC machining, try-out, and delivery.

Going beyond being the best Solution Provider, we aim not for No.1 but for Only 1, leaping forward as a global leader with differentiated technology and quality.
