Turning “mottainai” into value through research-equipment reuse

Message
Our founding spirit
To deliver value and joy to our customers — and create both inspiration and profit — through the service of buying and selling research equipment. That is the founding spirit of Japan Used Measuring Instruments.
Philosophy
Mission & vision
Since our founding in 2013, guided by the principle of mottainai (“waste nothing”), we have pursued a mission to reuse and deliver research equipment as long as even a single customer needs it — growing into one of the industry’s largest dealers by volume. To further advance the used-research-equipment industry, we are setting new management principles and aiming to become an ever more planet-friendly company.
Our mission is to reuse what is no longer needed and offer it to customers who think “I wish I had one.” By becoming a leading company in the field, we help promote lower-cost R&D through the circulation of used equipment, contributing to Japanese industry — and we aim to surprise and delight customers with our buying and selling services.
President
Message from the CEO
In June 2025, we (Japan Used Measuring Instruments, formerly Dealwings) entered our 13th year. With deep gratitude, our whole team reflects on the journey so far and looks ahead to the next step.
Since our founding, our goal has been to create an environment where staff can work freely and, above all, enjoyably. That belief is unchanged: our team has grown, sales have grown, and we have even expanded our warehouse for large equipment — the result of everyone fulfilling their role and working together.
We renew our strong commitment to the SDGs. Cherishing a “mottainai first” spirit, we devote ourselves to enhancing the sustainability of people’s lives and businesses through reuse and waste reduction.
A single missing instrument can stop someone’s dream. We never want that. That is why we value delivering needed equipment to as many people as possible — rescuing items destined for disposal and, in doing so, making someone’s day a little better. With that conviction we will keep moving forward as a leading company in used research-equipment sales and as a company committed to the SDGs.
