The subject of this paper is an examination of trends in capacity investment by die manufacturers during the high-growth era. In the conventional argument, loans from the Japan Development Bank under the Extraordinary Measures Law for the Promotion of Machinery Industries are noted as one factor promoting plant and equipment investment by die industry. However, only several large companies were recipients of loans from the Japan Development Bank. Paying attention to this point, this paper examines trends in plant and equipment investment of those enterprises which were outside of the Japan Development Bank loan program using data from the Kanto plastics die association (in the possession of the Eastern Japan Die & Mold Industry Association branch office), from trade journals detailing activities of this association, and so on. In the case of the plastic die industry, increasing orders and change in demand during the high-growth era to more precise and larger dies, and also technological changes, prompted companies to invest in plant and equipment. As a result, an association was formed by companies which tried to respond to the technical changes in the market of the second half of the 1950s, and measures promoting plant and equipment investment were carried out through this association. The conditions were (1) initiating of the installment payments for machine tools; (2) a Tokyo plant and equipment investment loan which could be utilized now through the influence from the association; (3) partners sharing information about facilities. With these conditions in place, not only companies taking out loans from the Japan Development Bank but also small and medium-sized enterprises which fell outside the loan program were active investors in plant and equipment. Consequently, the equipment of the whole die manufacturing industry improved sharply in this ten-year period.
