Background
Sansei Technologies was founded as an elevator, escalator and amusement ride manufacturer in 1951. The manufacture of stage equipment was then initiated the following year, in 1952. Currently, our core products are stage equipment, amusement rides, elevators and specifically designed equipment, and we handle all the processes from planning and design to manufacturing at our own factory, as well as all installation, maintenance and repair work. Sansei provides comprehensive service that only consultant engineers like us, with thorough knowledge of all these products, could offer. We answer our customers’ diverse needs for lifting, rotating, running, opening and closing, bending, and more, through our advanced technical capabilities, cultivated over a half century of experience, and with a flexible imagination.
