Group companies
Since our founding in 1972, we have been steadily operating for over 50 years as a comprehensive manufacturer of industrial filters, emphasizing direct transactions with both domestic and international end users and plant companies.
Thanks to the continued support of our valued customers, we have been privileged to serve many clients in Japan and abroad.
Our greatest strength lies in our ability to provide tailored solutions for a wide range of industrial filtration needs by leveraging the extensive experience and expertise we have cultivated over the years. We take pride in our capability to meet each customer’s unique requirements with meticulously designed, one-of-a-kind filters.
In addition to supplying liquid and gas filter elements customized to our clients’ needs, we also offer equipment maintenance services. Furthermore, as an affiliated company of one of Japan’s leading membrane manufacturers, we have long been engaged in the made-to-order production and sales of equipment units incorporating membrane modules. Moving forward, we remain committed to advancing the water treatment field, including the provision of membrane modules.
As a long-term global trend, climate change shows no sign of slowing, and I believe the energy transition and decarbonization markets will continue to expand, despite potential challenges along the way. Our company has a proven track record in the battery-related sector, and we will continue to respond even more attentively to the needs of our customers in these growing markets.
Through our efforts, we hope to contribute, even in a small way, to the realization of a decarbonized society.
We sincerely appreciate the continued trust and support of our valued customers.
