IHRA member companies support Shinkansen system, the world's safest and most reliable system on a daily basis. We introduce a message from Sekigahara Seisakusho Ltd., an associate member that joined IHRA in 2023!

Sekigahara Seisakusho Ltd. aims to be "The best niche department store in Japan" by pursuing high value-added products in niche areas that are difficult for small and medium-sized companies but are not handled by large companies either. Our products are characterized by custom-made, ultra-large size, and ultra-high precision, and are produced in a consistent process from development and design to manufacturing, installation, and follow up after delivery, making full use of our craftmanship and know-how. We are challenging to create value through manufacturing that is truly like a shrine carpenter of industrial products.

In the railway products business, we have been manufacturing track materials (turnouts) since the establishment in 1946. One of the products developed to improve ride comfort and save labor is Gauge Adjustment Tie Plate. This product facilitates track alignment inspection and gauge adjustment on turnouts and bridges with the same quality and ease, no matter who handles it. The development of this product started when our customer share with us a problem they had. We will continue to be active in the development of products needed by our customers.

We have a factory on the site where the Battle of Sekigahara, one of the world's three great ancient battlefields, was fought in 1600. Surrounded by nature, the company engages in manufacturing every day. We are also developing and producing niche products that are needed by the world. The company is good at realizing "You wish there was something like this" in track materials and maintenance work equipment, utilizing the technology we have cultivated through the development of our seven businesses operations. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. For more information about our company, please visit website Ningenmura Company - SEKIGAHARA SEISAKUSHO Ltd.

Shinkansen in Japan and Taiwan are based on the principle of 'Crash Avoidance', consisting of dedicated lines with no level crossings and an ATC (Automatic Train Control) system. The addition of the Total System Approach, which takes a unified view of the entire system and optimally integrates hardware and software, enables high-speed, high-volume and high-frequency transport with the world's highest levels of safety and reliability. The features of the Shinkansen are an essential element for social transformation and development through high-speed railway, and the technology that supports the Shinkansen requires a high level of safety and reliability.

The Shinkansen is able to operate safely on a daily basis thanks to the support of numerous companies such as Sekigahara Seisakusho Ltd. introduced here. We would introduce IHRA member companies supporting the Shinkansen from time to time in the future.
