In combining the two, it is possible to achieve hardness like steel as well as softness like rubber. OGK\u2019s technological prowess allowed it to create diverse products by taking advantage of these characteristics.<\/div>\n<\/figcaption><div class=\"c-layout--double--lr-cross__item__div\">\n<div class=\"c-layout--double--lr-cross__item__img\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/company\/technology\/001.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"c-layout--double--lr-cross\">\n<figure class=\"c-layout--double--lr-cross__item\"><figcaption class=\"c-layout--double--lr-cross__item__description sideright\">\n<h3 class=\"c-layout--double--lr-cross__item__description__ttl\"><span style=\"letter-spacing:-0.035em;\">There is no progress without change<\/span><br \/>Imagination and creativity free from preconceptions and conventions<\/h3>\n<div class=\"c-layout--double--lr-cross__item__description__txt\">Not succumbing to preconceptions and conventions that say something is \u201cimpossible\u201d, and the awareness that \u201cthere is no progress without change\u201d are shared across the company, from top management to rank and file employees. This is the source of OGK\u2019s strength. Not satisfied with a hot-selling product, OGK continues improving and renewing thinking outside the box. OGK is not afraid of terminating products that are not in tune with the times; rather, such renewal is frequent at OGK.<\/div>\n<\/figcaption><div class=\"c-layout--double--lr-cross__item__div\">\n<div class=\"c-layout--double--lr-cross__item__img sideright_img\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/company\/technology\/002.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"c-layout--double--lr-cross\">\n<figure class=\"c-layout--double--lr-cross__item\"><figcaption class=\"c-layout--double--lr-cross__item__description sideleft\">\n<h3 class=\"c-layout--double--lr-cross__item__description__ttl\">Making the world a better place with technology<br \/>OGK\u2019s wish in its name<\/h3>\n<div class=\"c-layout--double--lr-cross__item__description__txt\">OGK develops technologies by always bearing in mind whether or not they are good for society.
