About Kitagawa

Since its founding in 1918, Kitagawa has established its own technological capabilities whilst supporting Japan's global manufacturing industry. We specialise in three core businesses: the production and development of innovative casting and machining techniques of metal raw materials; supplying power chucks and numerically controlled (NC) rotary tables to the global machine tool industry; constructing custom-made concrete and recycling plants as well as providing construction machinery for various projects, including bridge erection and self-propelled multi-floor parking.
Looking to the future, Kitagawa aims to increase the competitiveness and availability of its products on a global scale, without sacrificing our dedication to maintaining the highest quality production plants throughout the world.
