This product group is focused on valves for high-temperature
and high-pressure applications that support the energy infrastructure.
Taking pride in our role as a leading manufacturer of high-temperature & high-pressure valves
In the past, we specialized in providing valves for marine vessels, including the famed battleship Yamato. After the Pacific War, we sold many valves to the various industrial plants that would become the pillars of Japan’s reconstruction, including nuclear power plants, thermal power plants, and petrochemical complexes. Over the years and in the face of sweeping change, we continued to develop our valve business. Our product line has evolved to become a supply system for custom-made valves including general-purpose valves (such as globe valves, needle valves, gate valves, and check valves) as well as safety valves and relief valves with a focus on high-temperature and high-pressure applications. Among all the manufacturers of high-temperature and high-pressure valves in Japan, we have earned particularly high praise for the valves we supply to power plants and other industrial plants both inside and outside Japan. Our cast parts are manufactured at our Iga Plant in the city of Iga in Mie Prefecture, while our Head Office Plant in Amagasaki, Hyogo Prefecture undertakes the processing, assembly, inspection, and shipping of products. We take great pride in our track record both in Japan and around the world, and have a great deal of confidence in our manufacturing expertise.
