Aircraft Business
Playing a key role in the aircraft industry
ShinMaywa's origins as a manufacturer can be found in aircraft production technologies, which date back to the foundation of our former entity Kawanishi Aircraft Company Limited. After making a fresh start as Shin Meiwa Industry Company Limited (later renamed as ShinMaywa Industries, Ltd.), we have tapped into our manufacturing prowess amassed through aircraft production to develop products that meet the demands of the times in an ever-expanding business field.
The aircraft business remains one of our mainstay businesses, and with our two core categories of "Amphibian (amphibious aircraft)" and "Commercial Aircraft Components," we are playing a key role in the development of the aircraft industry.
