Message from the President

Yuta Watanabe, President

Founded in 1947, our company expanded into the fishery processing machinery industry in 1972, based on the technology we had cultivated through the manufacture and sale of woodworking machines.
We have been striving to improve productivity in the food processing industry through constant innovative product development and services, such as the manufacture and sale of various food band saws, including frozen tuna cutting machines, and layout design of tuna and bonito processing lines.
In 2005, we developed a spherical ice making machine and made a full-scale entry into the ice processing industry. We are grateful that our ice processing machines have been well received both in Japan and overseas.
Today, our products are widely used by customers in the fishery processing industry and other food processing industries in more than 20 countries around the world, and we are deeply appreciative of the continued support of our customers.

Our company's development is driven by the "trust of our customers" and the "enthusiasm of each and every AKIYAMA employee to fully live up to that trust".
To fulfill our customers' requests with our technical capabilities, we will continue to support the challenges of each and every enthusiastic AKIYAMA employee, and strive to put our company motto into practice wholeheartedly.
