Message from the President

My name is Koji Fukui, and I assumed the role of President and Representative Director in June 2025.

Shinagawa Machinery Works Co., Ltd. was founded in 1910 as a manufacturer specializing in rice cake machines. Upholding our founding philosophy—“Use available resources to better oneself; Take responsibility on behalf of customers”—we have consistently responded to our customers’ diverse needs with both technology and products. Today, 115 years later, we offer a wide-ranging lineup across the confectionery, food, and chemical industries.

In recent years, as Japan’s manufacturing sector addresses the challenges of a declining birthrate, trends toward labor-saving have driven demand for larger and more automated machinery. At our company as well, demand is rising for specialized, custom-made machines, and we are seeing more consultations involving entire production lines. While strengthening our core technologies—especially in container manufacturing—we are also exploring the construction of a new factory to better accommodate large-scale projects, aiming to build a flexible production system.

Since joining the company, I have personally been involved in material procurement and production management, working alongside our manufacturing sites. With a deep appreciation for the history and pride of a machine manufacturer, I feel the weight and responsibility of serving as president of Shinagawa Machinery Works. In order to remain a company that is truly needed by our customers, we will continue to take steady steps forward. I sincerely ask for your continued guidance and support in the years ahead.

Yasushi Fukui, President and Representative Director
