Shizuoka Seiki

What Shizuoka Seiki does

Shizuoka Seiki Co., Ltd. (静岡製機株式会社) is a privately held Japanese machinery manufacturer founded around 1914, headquartered in Shizuoka Prefecture, with 251–500 employees and 111 years of continuous operation. The company operates two product divisions: agricultural post-harvest equipment and industrial environmental equipment. The agricultural division produces far-infrared and hot-air grain dryers (TCZ-ES/EMA/ELA/ELL/EX/GS and PRO Series), optical color sorters (SCS series), rice hullers (PMJ, SMR series), low-temperature storage warehouses (GBR, GBX/GB), rice weighing and cold storage (KSX), CO₂ greenhouse applicators, complete rice center systems, rice polishing plants (MyPlan, ABS), and a line of analytical instruments including single-grain moisture meters, NIR component analyzers, and taste analyzers. The industrial division produces infrared and hot-air heaters (VAL6, Hotto, WPS, HOTGUN), evaporative air coolers (RKF), industrial humidifiers (HSE), and portable blowers (F series). Core proprietary technologies are far-infrared drying (preserving rice quality and reducing energy use) and evaporative cooling without chemical refrigerants, plus an SSDM remote monitoring system for dryer fleet management.

The business model is overwhelmingly hardware sales of capital equipment with a recurring aftermarket in replacement parts and consumables (e.g., RKF cooling elements and odor packs via Amazon). Distribution runs through a nationwide Japanese dealer and service-shop network (with active recruitment of additional repair shops) supplemented by direct enterprise sales via product-specific contact forms, trade show presence (AGRI EXPO Niigata 2026), and a virtual exhibition hall on the corporate website. Pricing is mixed: open pricing on most industrial SKUs and inquiry-based pricing for agricultural capital equipment, with fixed retail pricing on Amazon-listed consumables. Customers are Japanese farmers, rice centers, agricultural cooperatives, factories, warehouses, and commercial facilities; four named reference customers (株式会社雪ほたか, 有限会社沼田, アグリサポート有限会社, 有限会社園部ライスセンター) all operate in Japanese rice agriculture. Operating geography is Japan-only with no disclosed export footprint.
