Message from C.E.O.


カシワテック代表取締役社長

Kashiwa Tech Co., Ltd., founded in 1947, was originated from Yamashita Steamship (later became Yamashita Shin-Nihon Steamship Co., Ltd. and then Navix Line, finally merged into Mitsui O.S.K. Lines) established by my great-grandfather, Kamesaburo Yamashita, in 1911.
We started our business with sales of fire extinguishers, and have expanded it to the manufacture of marine fire-fighting and hazard prevention systems, with a fervent desire to ensure marine safety and make a difference in the world.
The shipping industry has gone through constant changes for these decades, is still undergoing and will do in the future. But we take it not only as a challenge to ride out but also as a good opportunity to improve and change ourselves for a better organization that can create new values.
We are determined to keep advancing our creativity and technology so that we can offer our customers reliable products and satisfactory services.

President and C.E.O.
