COMPANY

TAIKO KIKAI INDUSTRIES, the core company in the TAIKO Group, was established in 1956 and is an all-around manufacturer of “Fluid transfer equipment.” In the marine, industrial and electromagnetic business divisions, we design, manufacture and sell different pumps primarily for the marine industry, industrial applications (factories and facilities) and electromagnetic drive applications (medical care, health and environment).
We have been offering marine products longer than any other, a one-stop service product lineup that covers all types of pumps required for vessels, featuring gear pumps with our uniquely designed “Segmental gears,” centrifugal pumps as well as sewage treatment devices and bilge separators.
In industrial applications, we design and manufacture a wide range of products, including roots blowers that feature different machine models with both large and small sizes. Our screw-type dry vacuum pumps equipped with a unique screw design have been adopted in plants and production facilities for semiconductors, LCDs, solar cells, pharmaceuticals and chemicals.
In electromagnetic drive applications, we develop and manufacture diaphragm blowers for a broad range of applications, such as for air supply used in fish-breeding and live fish tanks as well as aquariums, for septic tanks and for built-in components used in medical and health care devices that require compact, high-performance specifications.
TAIKO KIKAI has developed and manufactured more than 7,000 kinds of products in a number of industries, but recently, we have been focusing more on sustainable businesses and product development, such as energy-saving products, eco products and small hydropower generation.

Based in the suburbs of Rotterdam, Netherlands, MarFlex is a long-established manufacturer of motor-driven deep-well pumps mainly for marine applications. In 1997, TAIKO KIKAI entered into a partnership with MarFlex securing exclusive rights to sell motor-driven deep-well pumps in Japan. Thereafter, TAIKO KIKAI continued to work together with MarFlex in product development and manufacturing, fortifying a strong relationship for over twenty years, which culminated in MarFlex becoming a member of the TAIKO Group in 2018.
The motor-driven deep-well pumps developed by MarFlex form a product lineup that targets vessels, offshore structures as well as all types of industrial applications. These products offer tremendous advantages with premium quality and robust structures based on advanced development and excellent designs. Beyond product development and manufacturing, we also have a customer training department in place in order to ensure the products are properly used, maintained and managed.
Even before joining the TAIKO Group, the MarFlex sales area had expanded throughout Europe. Yet after joining the group, we have continued to pull resources together and the synergy effect with the TAIKO Group has gained more traction, allowing our sales area to extend into Asia as well. Going forward, we shall continue to pursue this group synergy, which includes product development, raise our corporate value and aim for higher business growth.

CHUGOKU ELECTRIC SERVICE, a manufacturer based in Shimonoseki, Yamaguchi Prefecture, takes direct orders from companies and specializes in the design and manufacture of electrical equipment such as “distribution boards.” Their products include marine products for companies, government offices and agencies as well as industrial products for various companies and factories, from power receiving equipment to automatic control systems in industrial machinery.
CHUGOKU ELECTRIC SERVICE joined the TAIKO Group in 2018. TAIKO KIKAI has provided pump related products for various industries in marine and industrial applications. However, TAIKO KIKAI did not deal directly with electrical equipment up until now even though the company was involved in closely related fields. Now after joining the group, there are tremendous advantages for both CHUGOKU ELECTRIC SERVICE and the TAIKO Group.
CHUGOKU ELECTRIC SERVICE’s strength lies in its advanced technical capability that has been cultivated from planning, designing and manufacturing special, one-of-a-kind products customized to the needs of each customer. The impact of this technical prowess brings enormous value to the TAIKO Group. Going forward, the company is committed to accelerating growth while at the same time sharing its expertise with the whole group to help drive growth in each group company.
