Who is DIA?



Who is DIA (Lens Finishing Equipment)?



'DIA' (Takubo) Lens Finishing Lab Products & Accessories since 1958

Takubo Machine Works Co, Ltd is located in the Hiroshima prefecture of Japan: we have become one of the largest and most used lines of optical machinery ever! For nearly 60 years, Dia machinery, manufactured by Takubo, has been sold in North America by a succession of US based distributors and marketed under the names of Novamatic, Dia, Lab-Tech and Takubomatic.

Our machinery has always been well known for its' many exceptional attributes but in North America one thing was always missing...

Therefore Takubo North America Inc. was formed to provide factory direct sales and service support from our service center in Northern Florida to address the specific needs of the United States with support for all of North America.

We provide standard and warranty service for any Takubo Product or DIA product purchased in the United States, Mexico and many parts of South and Central America regardless of what distributor it was purchased from.
We have experienced Factory trained personnel ready to assist you. We provide e-mail and telephone support free of charge for all products sold. We continue to extend this service for all DIA, Takubo and Takubomatic products, even those that are no longer manufactured.
All parts are in stock at our factory. Most Parts are in stock in our North Florida Service center, any back ordered or unusual parts can normally be shipped to our Florida facility in less than a week.
Often; Due to call volume and growing staff levels, the simplest way to get quick answers to simple questions is the email option. For phone inquiries, we will call you back at our earliest convenience to assist you with your questions.
* NOTE

Chinese Copies of our Machinery:
Currently there are dozens of Chinese copies of our machinery circulating, some on the outside are so nearly identical that even we need to open them up to be sure it is a copy. Aside from the obvious differences (Borazon instead of Diamond in the grinding wheels, poor size tolerances and chucks that are smaller than the machines can accommodate) they are actually vastly different in internal construction. Very few parts are interchangeable with our parts. For this reason we do not service Chinese machinery.
