Variants of thier Mighty crankset were found on many high end, boom era, Japnese bicycles. Their 1981 TAT crankset popularized the 74mm BCD, allowing 24T chainrings. Their visibility started declining the late 1980s, with the spread of the group concept and self-branding of components by bicycle manufacturers. Consequently, many of their products were branded other than Sugino. However, they managed to survive and are still in business. https://www.suginoltd.co.jp/us/
