Marine & Heavy Industries Division
The Marine and Heavy Industries Division consists from two sales departments. Sales Department 1 supply a diverse range of products for the Japanese primary materials industry—for both ferrous and non-ferrous metals—and for our recently launched Indian railroads projects. Sales Department 2 focuses on the shipping industry, including general merchant ships, gas carriers such as LPG and ammonia carriers, and work vessels for offshore wind power installations.
Our line-up ranges from high-quality products manufactured in Europe and Japan to cost-effective products manufactured in Asia; we install new technologies and introduce new products to customers worldwide.
Co-creation projects with Sojitz Corporation and expanding our business in India
Sojitz Corporation(Sojitz Machinery’s parent company) has received an order for the construction of the Mumbai–Ahmedabad High Speed Railway project. Having been tasked with supplying the necessary machinery, we are in the process of proposing high-quality Japanese machineries and equipment for use in building both railroad itself and its associated infrastructure. In this way, we are playing our role in the construction of Indian infrastructure as a member of the Sojitz Group. Indeed, in light of its rapid growth, our Division has positioned India as one of the priority markets.
As such, we are working to expand sales of large-scale plants, equipment, and machinery—including carbon-neutralization and energy-saving fields—for blast furnace mills, a field we have long been active in. Our products and solutions are quick, easy to implement, budgetary and environmentally friendly.
New China-based initiatives
-
In the field of materials and product handling, we offer the most advanced cargo handling equipment in the world; which we aim to be capable of fully automated or remote operated in the near future.
For companies working to achieve net zero carbon emissions, we also offer heavy construction equipment that runs on lithium-ion batteries. In this way, we provide our customers with capital investment solutions that are quick, easy to implement, affordable, and environmentally friendly.

Detailed view of the Sendzimir 20 High Mill -
For blast furnace mill manufacturers and their subsidiaries, major electric furnace manufacturers, as well as manufacturers in non-ferrous fields in Japan, we deliver primary and ancillary equipment and machinery for use from upstream to downstream, process lines and inspection lines. The equipment we offer is manufactured in a variety of countries, including Japan, Europe, China, South Korea, and Taiwan.
Notably, we work together with our affiliate Sendzimir Japan to sell Sendzimir rolling mills, which is one of its core products. We contribute to the production of high-performance special metals, which are used in lithium-ion batteries and transformers.
A wide-ranging product line-up and a reassuring aftersales service system
Wire rod processing
-
For Japanese manufacturers that produce steel wires and electrical wires, we supply manufacturing equipment for processes such as wire drawing, heat treatment, stranding, coating, plating, insulation by extrusion, and enameling, as well as a variety of equipment that caters to carbon-neutral technologies and other technologies that reduce environmental impact of the forementioned processes. The electrical wires and cables that are produced in the equipment outlined above are finished products used in wide-ranging fields: undersea cables that transmit renewable energy from Japanese offshore wind farms to consumers; and winding wires, battery cables, and harnesses used in BEVs, HEVs, and other electrified vehicles.
We can provide the best solutions for each individual processes from our wide product lineup; from high quality products produced in Europe to cost-effective products made in Asia.
We also offer secondary processing machine for cold finished carbon and alloy steel bars mainly from European machinery manufacturers. To ensure that our customers can install various overseas products with confidence, we offer thorough aftersales services for the maintenance and operation of equipment in cooperation with electric control and engineering companies.

A ship, a steel object from a hundred to several hundred meters long and dozens of meters wide and deep, is spectacular from the outside, but the inside is also quite impressive. A roaring, huge engine. Pipes and ducts meandering around the hull like blood vessels. And the myriad devices that control navigation and cargo handling. Ships are often compared to factories, but they are by no means simple factories. Our company is a leader in the marine and engine component-related equipment business, a field that has been part of our business landscape for over half a century.
Our customers include shipyards, shipping companies, and engine manufacturers not only in Japan but across the globe. We support major international projects of ammonia and LPG carriers, delivering vessels which use alternative-fuels such as LNG, ammonia, and methanol, as well as providing offshore vessels for offshore wind power installations.
We anticipate the current trends in shipping and shipbuilding, such as equipment and engine components for alternative-fuel vessels in response to recent tightening of environmental regulations, and digitalization efforts, and constantly introduce the latest products and technologies to meet the diverse needs of our customers.
The challenge of carbon neutrality and digital transformation
At Sojitz Machinery, one of our strengths is our ability to assist our customers in receiving various subsidies that ease the burden of capital investments. By combining these subsidies with optimal technologies and equipment, our solutions empower customers both to achieve carbon neutrality swiftly and to promote digital transformation (DX).
Meeting the needs of the times: new technology initiatives
For about half a century, we have introduced and supplied marine equipment boasting the latest technology across the globe, particularly from Europe to Japan, and from Japan to China and Korea. As the shipping industry continues to decarbonize, we intend to utilize our global network to provide support for the development of alternative-fuel ships, as well as new exhaust gas analyzers essential for their operation. In this way, we hope to contribute to the global environment, the shipbuilding and marine industry, and the shipping industry as a whole.
