Launch of sales of new concept standard pumps

Until then, we had supplied large-scale custom-made pumps for plants and facilities, but as the economy expanded, demand for pumps for households accelerated.
We developed a standard pump to capitalize on the then-new concept of mass production and sales.

Entering the waste treatment plant business to solve the waste problem

With the development of business and industry, large amounts of waste became a problem.
We entered the waste treatment plant business by supplying the first stoker-type waste incinerator.

Received order for our first absorption chiller using plant steam

Japan’s rapid economic growth led to the start-up of numerous plants, many of which emitted steam.
During this period, we received our first orders for absorption chillers, chillers that make effective use of steam in their operation.

Going global in technical alliance with Elliott Co. of the US

Focusing on industries that would generate synergy with our Pumps Business, we entered into a technical alliance with Elliott Company of the US.
We further expanded our oil refining and petrochemical compressor business, seizing the opportunity to expand overseas.

Delivery of first fluidized bed incinerator for municipal solid waste to solve the waste problem

The number of items that could not be burned in stoker-type waste incinerators, launched in 1961, increased as society developed.
We therefore delivered fluidized bed incinerators, which have a higher temperature and greater efficiency than stoker-type incinerators.
