Umemoto Seisakusho (梅本製作所, i.e. Umemoto Works) is a Japanese company, founded in 1935 by Umemoto Kinzaburō (梅本金三郎), after the retailer Kikō-Dō asked him to set up a camera plant.[1] The factory was situated in Tokyo.[2]
Before the war, the company made the Super Makinet Six strut-folder and the Super Flex Baby 4×4 SLR. Most cameras made by the company were distributed by Kikō-Dō.
After the war, the company made one last attempt at camera production with the Rocky Semi, but it was not a commercial success.
The company still exists and makes photography-related parts, like tripod heads for Kenko.
