The EBARA Group’s DNA
"Passion and Dedication" was the motto of our founder and words that continue within the Group still. "Both the employees and company shall strive for growth with passion and dedication to bring forth originality and ingenuity, rather than simply fulfilling the task at hand. When working with passion and dedication there is nothing that cannot be communicated to others." With this spirit as our origin, the EBARA Group will continue innovating for the benefit of society.

Moment of Innovation
A Story of Challenge
Driven by our passion and dedication to contribute to the modernization of Japan and to solve social problems, the EBARA Group has contributed to society by providing products and services that support society, industry, and people’s lives. Take a look at those challenges from the past, present, and future.
1912 - 1944
Supporting the modernization of Japan
Since its founding, at a time when imported machinery was the mainstream, EBARA contributed to the industrial development of Japan by actively supplying Japanese-made products to the world.
Having survived the Great Kanto Earthquake and World War Two, the company took on the challenge of developing not only pumps, but also new products such as fans and chillers in order to build the infrastructure that would be essential for Japan's modernization.
EBARA's current technological base is supported by its historic achievements.
1950 - 1990
Supporting postwar reconstruction and rapid economic growth
EBARA worked hard to improve its technical capabilities and improve its production systems for pumps and fans.
It would play a key role in Japan's postwar reconstruction and infrastructure development during the nation’s period of rapid economic growth.
To make up for the technological delays caused by the war, the company aggressively adopted new technologies and eagerly developed its own products.
1980 - 1999
Contributing to the development of the information society
The Japanese economy was facing inflation and recession due to both the strong yen and the oil crisis.
Despite this, increased public investment in social infrastructure due to counter-recessionary measures provided a tailwind for EBARA's performance.
However, the subsequent sharp rise in the yen following the Plaza Accord dampened EBARA's appetite for exporting.
We began to tackle the next growth areas such as precision machinery, electronics, and the environment.
2000 - Future
New Challenges for a Sustainable World
In recent years, we have concentrated on growth areas, building a foundation for future development by developing and strengthening our global network, constructing the Futtsu Plant as our mother plant (completed in 2010), and expanding the Precision Machinery Company's plant.
We are also focusing on the development of new products and services that contribute to solving social issues by advancing fluid technology. Looking to the future, EBARA aims to be an industrial machinery manufacturer that meets the needs of the world, repeatedly reforming and challenging ourselves in response to societal change.
