DISCO Corporation (株式会社ディスコ, Kabushiki-gaisha Disuko) is a Japanese precision tools maker, especially for the semiconductor production industry.

[4] After World War II Japan faced a construction boom which also helped DISCO to boost its sales.

The wheel contained diamond powder and as a result it was capable of making sharp, precision cuts as demanded in the semiconductor manufacturing process.

The cutting machine, DAD-2h, received instant recognition from semiconductor companies, including Texas Instruments.
