ShinMaywa Industries, Ltd. is a Japanese industrial conglomerate descended from the Kawanishi Aircraft Company. Founded as Shin Meiwa Industries in 1949, the company was rebranded as ShinMaywa in 1992
If we factor in our founding years, we can say that the company has been in existence for a total of more than ninety years. In fact, ShinMaywa originated from Japan's first aircraft manufacturer. However, the turning point in our business came when we were banned from manufacturing aircraft after the war.
Cherishing the sincere hope that "someday we will make aircraft again," we began to diversify our business for the sake of survival. With our "engineering sprit" brought into full play in businesses other than aircraft manufacturing, ShinMaywa has grown in parallel with various developments in the society, developing products that would eventually lay the foundation for our current mainstay businesses.
