 I used to spend my early life in the town spreading behind the building dockyard and the plant was my playground. I had enjoyed sounds, smells and excitements of the dockyard naturally in my everyday life. There used to be a “launching ceremony” celebrating the first process of floating the vessel in the water, and most impressive images were the body of a huge ship and people’s smiles with a sense of pride. I still remember and think greats deal of proud the presences of those technicians, plant workers and all people who had sweated with effort for creating products.

I have got involved in the field of gear pump for about 30 years. Our product, “DEX gear pump” in the design based on Watanabe-Theory achieves over 20% improvement in efficiency and afford a 30% energy saving as a whole of extrusion system when used in combination with a screen changer. Taking full advantages of my knowledges and experiences for 30 years, I would like to make a contribution to the world’s progress through our designs and products.
