Matsubara Iron Works
Since its establishment in 1904, Matsubara Iron Works has earned high recognition through superior technical capabilities backed by over 100 years of history and extensive experience. In particular, our air compressors for starting diesel engines in small and medium-sized vessels are used throughout Japan, with cumulative shipments exceeding 50,000 units, capturing over 40% market share in domestic shipping. Matsubara Iron Works products handle high pressure, requiring precise processing technology. Quality control is also strict; air compressors for starting diesel engines are shipped after inspection by maritime inspection agencies like the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism based on the "Ship Safety Act," while air compressors for breathing air are shipped after inspection by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry based on the "High Pressure Gas Safety Act."
