HISTORY
The birth of a DX Integrator for the manufacturing industry
CGS HOLDINGS INC. was established in April 2025 as a result of a collaboration between C&G SYSTEMS, a Japanese CAD/CAM manufacturer, and NTT Data Engineering Systems.
By making our company a pure holding company, and by having C&G SYSTEMS, which has supported the Japanese manufacturing industry for half a century from the perspective of CAD/CAM systems for molds, and other companies that can support the standardization, digitization, promotion of smart manufacturing, and utilization of on-site data for the entire manufacturing industry, including molds, which will continue to evolve in the future, participate in our group, we will establish ourselves as a “DX integrator for the manufacturing industry” that broadly supports the future of the Japanese manufacturing industry.
The following mainly explains the history of Computer Engineering (formerly CE) and Graphic Products (formerly GP), which were merged in 2007 to form C&G SYSTEMS INC.
