Profile

[Company strength]
(1) We are a self-capitalized manufacturer dedicated to grab buckets. There are few precedents worldwide for our kind of company, and we are capable of independently developing new products.
(2) We are committed to standardizing and sharing parts, competitive costs, and immediate deliveries.
(3) We offer speedy after-sales service in Japan and overseas.

[Business description]
We develop grab buckets, coil lifters, hoppers, and other machines for ships. We plan, develop, manufacture, install, sell, and maintain cargo handling and conveyance machines for use at materials development and raw materials stockyards, ports, and all kinds of on-land factories.

[Industry]
Cargo handling and conveyance machine manufacturing, installation, and sales

[Strength of products/technologies]
Our company has prioritized the accumulation and pursuit of expertise in grab buckets. In 1965 we extended our market from land-based to ship-based uses. We have accumulated many achievements in Japan and overseas with our high-level unique know-how. Our company is now the only dedicated manufacturer in Japan with our specialty. There are few precedents worldwide for a self-capitalized manufacturer specialized in grab buckets. We are overwhelmingly cost competitive because of our short-term, low-cost development of unique products, manufacturing with patents, and so on.

[Representative's message]
Last year our company celebrated its 50th anniversary as a manufacturer specialized in grabbing. Our products play an active role on ships sailing around the world, as well as in resource development and raw materials stockyards, ports, and all kinds of on-land factories. We aim to create new value and draw out added value for further needs. We are taking on the challenge of contributing to cargo loading and distribution at expected timings and speeds for new products from the viewpoint of new added value. This is something we can give back for our customers’ unique achievements (products).

[Company structure for market development/overseas expansion]
We have two domestic sites (in eastern and western Japan) and three overseas sites (the Netherlands, Turkey, Singapore, and China). We are also creating a global service network for quick support. We are restructuring our managerial resources, amplifying our added value, and striving to make a contribution to society to meet varying and growing needs.
