Lines of Business and Products
For more than 50 years since we first developed a hot press machine for producing plywood in 1958, Kitagawa Seiki has been developing proprietary technologies* to meet increasingly advanced and diversified customer needs. These technologies have been applied to develop and manufacture a variety of press-related machinery and other products. In the field of CCL** presses in particular, by developing vacuum presses in response to strong customer demand, we have captured the No. 1 global market share (based on available information).
In our industrial machinery business, our integrated system from development and design to manufacture enables us to respond to the specific needs of individual customers. Recently we have also been focusing on the development of equipment for producing solar panels, an area where sharp growth in demand is expected.
