Manufacturing of HEGE

Traditional Industry and HEGE

The feel is rich to the touch. There is warmth. You can picture the maker’s face. The unexpected changes are delightful.
That’s why we love craftsmanship.
But even so

Is “efficiency” frivolous? Is “uniformity” cold?
Do the know-how for stable mass production and advanced technologies
fall short of crafts backed by tradition and culture?

HEGE is an industrial product.
Machines are essential to make it yet it needs human hands just as much.
To mold those beautiful, delicate curves,
precise programming is everything.
And to ensure that beauty is present in every single piece,
the technician who operates the machines that day adjusts them in their own way
with their eyes, with their hands,
trusting the senses they’ve honed over many years.

As industry advances and society matures,
environmental and human safety are now strictly required.
Naturally, manufacturing has come to face more constraints.
Yet Japan’s industrial technologies and its technicians respond by pouring in even more pride and spirit.
Even though what they’re allowed to do has narrowed,
they work with wisdom and ingenuity
to elevate the quality all the more.

The reason HEGE uses ceramic coating lies in these very ideas.
Its silicon-based film contains no fluorinated compounds,
yet it offers high durability and hardly deteriorates over time.
It resists sticking, and even if it flakes, it poses no harm to the human body.
More than that, it has become a cooking pot capable of anything boiling, simmering, steaming, stir-frying.

Do the know-how for stable mass production and advanced technologies

We ask ourselves these questions as we create HEGE.
