ShinMaywa was founded back in 1920 when the company started the manufacturing of aircraft.
As Japan’s economy advanced, we launched social infrastructure businesses, including special purpose trucks and industrial machinery. Since then, we have broadened our horizons, venturing into a service business associated with these core fields.

Today, our Group operates five distinct businesses: special purpose trucks, parking systems, industrial machinery & environmental systems, fluid, and aircraft. While our business segments are highly diverse, we remain committed to fulfilling our purpose and mission through our daily activities, guided by our management philosophy: “ShinMaywa Group will contribute to the overall well-being of humanity, bringing unstinting innovation for a stable society and positive living environment.”
Also, we are currently in the process of giving concrete shape to the long-term vision, which makes clear the ideal state that we should accomplish by 2030.

The vision established in 2020, had to start under challenging circumstances due to the COVID-19 pandemic that broke out around the same time. The business environment continued to change substantially from the scenarios we originally envisioned, because of procurement delays for key parts and sharp rises in various expenses, including material and labor costs, among other factors. But we are not the only one who has faced these challenges. Many other companies have gone through the same changes in the business environment and have striven to overcome them. At the ShinMaywa Group, we are focusing our management efforts on bolstering risk measures, expanding earnings, and improving investment efficiency, while at the same time scaling up our business. Manufacturing lies at the core of our Group, and achieving an ROIC of 10% remains a significant challenge, a target defined in our long-term management plan. However, we are striving to meet this target by transforming our organizational mindset. As part of this effort, we are exploring how to bring to life the theme expressed in our theme phrase “Building a smoother tomorrow.” We are also devoting our efforts on giving shape to the potential products, services, and value needed by our customers and society at large.

In addition to these endeavors to drive sustainable growth, we place emphasis on ensuring thorough compliance. In recent years, a number of legal violations have been identified within our Group, bringing about a grave situation that has caused concern to our customers, shareholders, and many others. We have examined the circumstances leading up to this situation and have been working to continuously implement recurrence prevention measures formulated based on a sincere reflection of our shortcomings.
As one of these measures, the former president Isogawa assumed the position of chairman of the board in April 2026, committing himself to enhancing governance.
