Torishima was founded in Torishima-cho, Osaka city as a specialized manufacturing factory of pumps and watermills by a group of pump engineers.

Agricultural-use pumps won first prize in a competition sponsored by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry in Japan.

Amid growing demand for domestically manufactured pumps, Torishima began production of boiler feed pumps. Very difficult to design,these were the main pumps used in thermal power plants.

Relocated the head office factory to the current site (Miyata-cho, Takatsuki).

Ryuhei Harada joined the company, and restructured the management from the postwar turnmoil.

Began systematic research into mechanical seals,earlier than any other company in Japan.

Received orders for ultra-large adjustable-vane vertical
axial-flow pumps, allowing us to make inroads into largescale national water and sewerage projects.
In 1957, received orders for adjustable-vane vertical axial-flow pumps for what was then the largest drainage pumping station in the East.

Manufactured the first horizontal multistage ring section pump(HD type).
Gaining momentum from this,Torishima entered the markets for industrial and off-grid power generation. Our products were even adopted for supercritical applications.

The oil crisis of 1973 caused domestic demand to fall.
Nevertheless, Torishima focused on exports (mainly for the Middle East and Southeast Asia) and received a steady flow of orders.

Established the first overseas office in Singapore.

Listed on the First Section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange.

Succeeded in the domestic production of glandless boiler
circulation pumps for supercritical boilers.

Opened the first overseas production basis in Indonesia.

Established Kyushu Torishima in Saga Prefecture as a

Established Torishima (Hong Kong)Ltd.

Launched Torishima Global Team (TGT), made full-scale entry into overseas markets, and established sales and service bases across the world such as the Middle East, Europe, Asia and the U.S.

Promoted Eco-Pumps under our energy-efficiency initiative, “Go Green with Pumps”.
In 2015, our “Go Green with Pumps” initiative won the highest honor—the Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry Prize—in Japan’s Energy Conservation Grand Prize program.

Released TR-COM®, a monitoring system that supports the day-to-day management of rotating machinery such as pumps through IoT.
