“First State Manufacturing is the company I can trust as a real partner. I still remember when their people came to Japan with the prototype they made according to our requirements and at their cost, and then performed fit check in an aircraft where there was no air conditioner during a very hot and humid Japanese summer. I have never seen such hardworking people in other American companies.”
