Japan’s leading one-stop provider for marine products

Japanese manufacturing faces stiff competition from emerging regional players, however, Taiko Sangyo, a leading name in shipbuilding solutions, has managed to thrive.

"Competitive advantage lies in technology and productivity," asserts company president Akihito Matsumoto, who highlights how labor challenges are overcome by embracing senior workers, robotics, and international talent.

As a leader in fireproof doors in Japan, international competitiveness requires partnerships.

"One of the reasons why we collaborate with other companies is that we can provide one-stop supplies to the customer," the president explains.

Looking ahead, the company is poised for further expansion, eyeing new markets and industries, with a clear commitment to diversification and innovation.

"We are currently working on silencers for the land use market, including power plants," Mr. Matsumoto reveals.

And there are clear ambitions for substantial growth.

"We are aiming for three times the scale of today in six years with an expansion of our new businesses," he concludes, outlining a bold trajectory for the journey ahead.
