Japanese term or phrase: モノ作りの原点を支える
This is just a catch phrase for a company. The meaning is easy to understand, but I'm having trouble finding a natural English equivalent. Any ideas?

supporting the fundamentals/basics of manufacturing
Explanation:
This seems like a popular phrase in Japanese, for example:
http://www.newvoice.jp/kigyou/05/27frontier/index.html
http://www.sinei-tools.co.jp/profile/index.html

Here, I think 原点を支える implies that it's very important elements in manufacturing. So, "fundamentals" may be better.
