About Our Company

We take pride in providing an underlying key component that supports social infrastructure.

As a responsible corporate body, our company treats both individual customers and society with integrity and sincerity.

Our products include locomotives and maintenance vehicles (maintenance for railroad tracks and high voltage electric lines) that have been essential components in developing social infrastructure.

The manufacturing of such vital products is faces serious challenges, including an aging workforce combined with a decreasing working population. This situation forces us to transition to more efficient and speedy operations, support response, and automatization. Furthermore, achieving a carbon neutral operation is another obstacle that we need to tackle. All these changes mean that we must aggressively pursue further technological innovation.

However, that is not new to us. We are proud to have been a company constantly battling with various new challenges as we develop products. We will continue to concentrate our efforts to deliver products that exhibit excellent usability and cost performance to our customers.
