The Sanshin Matsumoto factory was very busy in the 1970s and 1980s producing a wide range of high-quality hubs for the Japanese bicycle industry. The firm produced excellent hubs for entry-level bikes as well as excellent professional quality hubs.

The firm sold their production under the "Sanshin", "Sansin" and "Sunshine" brands. Sanshin also made SunTour Superbe hubs for SunTour.
