The sigma symbol (Σ) is a mathematical symbol.
The symbol sigma represents the sum of a sequence of numbers, and we have chosen the name SIGMAX to express our desire to create something completely new by bringing together diverse knowledge and technologies.
SIGMAX has been in business for more than 30 years since its foundation in 1989, and during this time we have developed and launched many kinds of products. With a few exceptions, however, every product unfortunately has a limited life span, and we have experienced many products that contributed greatly to sales at one time only and discontinued suddenly.
Sometimes the damage was so severe that we were petrified, but fortunately, each time a new application was developed by chance, or a theme for a new product suddenly appeared and we succeeded in developing it, and we have been able to continue our business to this point.

The two photos above are a simple representation of SIGMAX’s history.
The one on the left is a ceramic label processing machine that we worked on all night for a couple of days using materials we gathered at a home improvement store, such as erasers, angles, and screw rods, to finish the machine when it was decided that ceramic labels would be used for the first time at a TV cathode ray tube factory.
We used a desktop computer, which was just coming out at the time, as a controller, and were able to mass-produce at a respectable 200,000 labels per month. The machine is full of handmade quality, but the spirit of venture is here. The right side is the ceramic label processing machine we are currently using.
We hope that SIGMAX will continue to boldly take on new challenges in the future without losing our spirit of challenge.

We are a manufacturer dedicated to the development and production of industrial barcode labels for the manufacturing industry. Through our labels, which offer excellent heat resistance, chemical resistance, and durability, we help ensure reliable identification and stable barcode reading even in harsh production environments exposed to high temperatures, chemicals, and abrasion. In this way, we support not only improvements in process control, quality control, and traceability, but also the advancement of automation, labor-saving operations, and factory automation on manufacturing floors.
In recent years, the demands for quality assurance and traceability have continued to grow across industries and society as a whole. At the same time, as manufacturing processes become increasingly digitalized and automated, the importance of barcode-based identification and management has grown significantly. By providing labels that communicate information accurately and reliably, we help our customers enhance productivity, strengthen their quality management systems, and improve operational efficiency.
What we have always valued most is reliability in real-world production environments. More than catalog specifications alone, we believe it is essential that labels can be scanned with confidence on actual manufacturing floors, that their materials and specifications are suited to the intended conditions of use, and that their readability and identification performance are maintained over the long term. Guided by this belief, we have continued to develop and manufacture heat-resistant, chemical-resistant, and highly durable barcode labels tailored to the specific requirements of each customer’s working environment.
Looking ahead, we will continue to support manufacturers through our industrial barcode labels and identification solutions, while responding to the growing needs for automation, labor-saving operations, more advanced quality assurance, and stronger traceability. We remain committed to sincerely pursuing the most suitable label solutions for each customer’s production environment and to contributing to the future of manufacturing.
