■□What we do

- Consulting and Engineering Solutions

- Manufacturing of steam and other fluid products

A niche TOP company that can achieve energy efficiency and lower CO2 emissions.

We investigate and consult on the energy efficiency of the entire plant, focusing on the steam field, where we have been conducting research and development for many years.

We achieve energy efficiency by proposing the most energy-efficient and safest ways to use energy for the plant, without being limited to our company products and services.

In addition to improving our customers' production efficiency and significantly reducing costs, we are also contributing to the reduction of CO2 emissions and environmental protection.

Innovative management of steam-using equipment using wireless monitoring. Maintain optimal operating conditions of steam-using equipment.

SSRM®: Steam System Risk Mitigation

Utilizing our steam engineering know-how and extensive experience with inspecting and optimizing steam traps and related steam equipment, we created SSRM, the world’s first service for quantifying and mitigating risk to steam systems.

Steam Trap Survey

The proper operation of all installed steam traps is crucial for the safe and efficient operation of your equipment. With our certified TMS test system, our service specialists quickly and expertly analyze your steam trap population.

A tradition of innovation

Product development starts from our customer’s perspective.
Our goal is to produce products that exceed your expectations.
To meet the needs of the market, we have developed a broad range of solutions including steam traps, valves and separators, as well as sophisticated system products and software.
To date, we have obtained over 4,700 patents and utility models across the world, underlining our commitment to creating new, innovative technologies.

Manufacturer at heart

Through developing products and studying the steam-using processes in our customers’ plants, we came to realize that there are many problems in the steam system that cannot be solved by just providing products.
To proactively contribute to safe and reliable plant operations, we created the CES (Consulting・Engineering・Services) philosophy and team.
The aim of CES is to offer the best possible solutions to problems that steam-using plants face, increasing energy efficiency, protecting the environment, and improving product quality and productivity.

We are pleased to announce that our iBPSSM.net - a business model for managing steam equipment using wireless monitoring - has won the "Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry Award (Business Model Category)" in the "2021 Energy Conservation Grand Prize (Product/Business Model Category)" for its excellent energy-saving efforts.

This service is a consulting service for managing steam equipment that utilizes wireless monitoring sensors. To ensure safe and stable operation and reduce CO2 emissions through energy conservation in factories that use steam, it is essential to properly manage steam traps (drainage points), which are the infrastructure of the steam system. iBPSSM.net supports everything from understanding on-site issues to target selection, specification decisions, introduction and installation, operation support, and effect confirmation, making it possible to continuously optimize important drainage points for steam equipment. By digitizing the management of steam equipment, the service contributes to achieving carbon neutrality by eliminating steam leaks and continuously draining the drain.

The "Energy Conservation Grand Prize" has been held since 1990 with the sponsorship of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, and is organized by the Energy Conservation Center, Japan. It is a system that recognizes excellent energy-saving efforts in various sectors such as industry, business, and transportation, as well as advanced and highly efficient energy-saving products. It should be noted that this is the third time that our company's efforts have won this award, following wins in 2009 and 2020.

Opportunity for young professionals to shine!

We have advocated for a small but elite, merit-based organization since our founding. We do not determine positions based on seniority, as evidenced by the fact that there are individuals in their early thirties who hold managerial positions. If you have the ability and a spirit of challenge, you have the opportunity to succeed in our organizational culture.

Recently, even our senior colleagues who joined the company as new graduates have been assigned to important projects that they would never have experienced in a large corporation, between their second and third year of employment, and have been active and growing. If you are in your thirties and have the desire to grow, you can proudly say that you are a professional who can succeed and thrive anywhere you go.

Human Resource Development & Career Design Policy

We value and work together with the individual's will to challenge themselves and do what they want to do when they join our company. In an era where the world situation and market environment are rapidly changing, we may ask you to change projects or departments depending on the situation or need, but we make sure to communicate and have a dialogue with you. We value your hopes and desires while striving to achieve both human resource development and business growth.
