HSN-Kikai Kogyo Co. Ltd (Also known as Heishin Pump Works) announce it’s 90th anniversary of trading.
In 1955 the company diversified into the marine market which became the main area of business and are now a leading manufacturer of ships pumps for all engine room applications. Further expansion incorporated other markets in the industrial sector including automotive, food industry and agriculture.
In 1968 Heishin developed our first OWS for ships engine room bilge water. Throughout the 1970’s & 80’s and with the implementation of MARPOL legislation, the OWS was further developed to comply with changing regulations and the company played a leading role in representing the Japanese government at MARPOL sessions. Heishin are now the leading manufacturer of Oily Water Separators for the Japanese domestic market as well as enjoying the success of export sales throughout the world.
Development of other products followed, including fuel oil modules, ship performance monitoring and emissions monitoring.
In 2009 Heishin further diversified into agricultural markets, developing hydroponic systems to grow vegetables in a sustained way by reducing energy consumption and increasing the yield and quality of crops. The company operates two small farms in Japan where research and development is carried out and has established sales of hydroponic systems throughout Asia, most notably in Japan, China and Indonesia.
In 2016 Heishin developed the worlds first hydroponic vegetable grower specifically designed for ships. Successful trials were carried out on a number of vessels over a two year period and these systems have been well received by shipowners as well as ships crews.
In celebration of our 90th anniversary Heishin would like to welcome all friends and clients to visit our stand at Marintec Shanghai in December where a range of our products including the ships vegetable grower will be on display.
