In 1913, Kazuo Chino founded private company named Chino Works at Shitaya, Tokyo. He started manufacture and sell chemical machinery and rubber products first.

In 1936, established stock organization named Chino Works, Ltd.(Current: Chino Corporation) The new factory was burnt down again by an air raid during the Second World War though, restarted business limited to measuring instruments. In that case original electronic recorder and oscillation type indicating controller were a big hit with commercialization.
