Torishima Pump Mfg Co Ltd of Osaka, Japan, has entered into a joint venture with AES Engineering Ltd of the UK. The new company, AESSEAL-Torishima Japan will exclusively supply and service AES products into the Japanese market. This new venture, based in Torishima’s HQ in Osaka will provide state of the art seals and sealing technology for end users and OEMs throughout Japan. It will focus on providing this technology coupled with unrivalled customer service and delivery.
AES Engineering Ltd is an independently owned global manufacturer of mechanical seals & seal systems. AES, formed in 1979 and is still owned and controlled by founder Chris Rea, has become one of the largest seal manufacturers in the world, with world class machining and assembly capabilities. AES also has a strong ethical and environmental strategy which is very much in line with Torishima values.

Chris Rea, Managing Director of AES Engineering Ltd, said ‘We have an ambition to be the world’s leading reliability business and we cannot do that without a strong presence in Japan, which is the third largest country by GDP. Torishima is a long established and well respected company with a great reputation and heritage, and there is also a business culture fit. Together we will bring a new and disruptive level of customer service on all AESSEAL group selling products to a large underserved market’.
Torishima Pump Mfg Co Ltd is a leading supplier of engineered pumps to a wide range of markets including power generation, desalination, Water & Industrial. Based in Osaka, Japan, Torishima has a global network of Sales, Service & Manufacturing facilities’ providing pumping equipment and service solutions to its global customer base.
