What Shinkoh does
Shinkoh (株式会社SHINKOH) is a privately held Japanese technology and engineering company founded in 1964, operating from Kawasaki City, Kanagawa, with a stated capital of 68 million JPY and 51-100 employees. The company runs three business segments: (1) System Development, which designs, manufactures, and inspects electronic control devices, precision sheet metal products, satellite and rocket ground control systems deployed at Tanegashima, Okinawa, and Ogasawara, ISS control consoles, bottle inspection systems, environmental display boards, and broadcasting remote-control equipment; (2) Software Development, which builds enterprise management systems (sales, production, attendance, HR/payroll, payment collection, employee ID) and provides network infrastructure, security systems, and consulting, with multi-country development across Japan and China; and (3) a Restaurant business under the sub-brand Washoku Ogi, serving Japanese cuisine centered on Kuroge Washugyu beef.
Core technology is rooted in classical electronics and control engineering — microcomputer-based control devices, computer systems with network integration, RF sensor measurement, impedance conversion, broadcast remote control over wired/cellular networks, and an integrated precision sheet metal workflow from CAD design through NC turret punching, laser processing, bending, pressing, welding, assembly, and silk printing. The aerospace ground-control and ISS console involvement represents the most differentiated technical capability, indicating a security-cleared supplier to Japan's national space program (JAXA). Software capabilities span legacy and modern stacks including C, COBOL, Java, .NET, Perl, Delphi, and PHP, on Windows, UNIX, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, Oracle, and MySQL.
Shinkoh's business model is proposal-based B2B enterprise sales to Japanese corporations, with no publicly disclosed pricing and quote-by-project engagement. Customers include four NEC Group entities (NEC Corporation, NEC Platforms, NEC Networks & System Integration, NEC Management Partner), Mitsubishi Electric Special Products, Seven & i Holdings, Oki Electric, Macnica, Meidensha, and roughly a dozen other large Japanese enterprises. Revenue is generated through hardware sales (custom control devices, sheet metal), professional services (software development, system integration), and a small consumer-facing restaurant vertical. Distribution is direct enterprise sales only, with no disclosed resellers, digital channels, or marketing programs.
