Takuma started out as a boiler manufacturing company that was founded in 1938 based on a philosophy of contributing to society through its technology.
We have continued to offer support day in and day out to customers and communities by manufacturing essential facilities that will serve them for more than 50 years, including low-environmental-impact waste incineration facilities, biomass power plants, and clean centers that play a key role in their areas.
What will be required of us in the future?
We must create a sustainable society with a vision that stretches out to 100 years in the future, for example by going beyond conventional approaches to address climate change and realize a cyclical economy, by leveraging technologies and services to manufacture the essential facilities that will serve the next 50 years of customers as a leading company in the area of the environment and energy.
Serving the next 50 years of customers.
Creating the next 100 years of society.
That summarizes Takuma’s corporate value, and our mission.
We will continue to play an essential role for customers and society as a whole by creating essential products and services for the future while embracing a philosophy that has remained unchanged since the days of our founding.
The philosophy of “Serve society through boiler manufacturing,” which was put forth by founder Tsunekichi Takuma, lies at the heart of the Takuma Group. In short, we've embraced a commitment to contributing to our customers and society through our products and services.
This commitment informs our Management Principles and Code of Conduct, which comprise our Company Motto, as well as our management strategy.
This philosophy served as the Company Motto of Takuma, then Takuma Boiler Manufacturing Co., Ltd., which was founded by Tsunekichi Takuma, one of the 10 great inventors of Japan during the Meiji and Taisho periods (1868-1926). The central tenet is to contribute to society through corporate activities such as the manufacture, sale, and service of boilers.
It was established in 1992 as a company motto to replace the founding spirit of our company (Takuma Boiler Manufacturing Co., Ltd. at that time). Our mission is to protect the global environment by maximizing the individuality and talents of every employees and constantly refining the technology that is at the forefront of the industry.
Takuma will strive for social contribution, corporate value enhancement, long-term corporate development and the satisfaction of all stakeholders by providing goods and services that are needed and recognized as valuable in society.
"In 2006, The Management Principles were crafted by organizing and articulating the value system embodied in the original Company Motto of “Serve society through boiler manufacturing”.
Our goal is to contribute to customers and society as a whole through the goods and services we create."
The long-term vision "Vision 2030" for the year 2030 as well as the medium-term management plan are posted here.
The company emblem established at the time of Takuma’s founding stylized the company’s name (Takuma) with a triangular shape that combined the three core areas of its operations: research, manufacturing, and installation. The design expresses the company’s philosophy which focuses on giving top priority to the continuous improvement of quality and on contributing to customers and society.
Takuma’s roots lie in Tsunekichi Takuma’s invention in 1912 of a boiler with world-class performance and his subsequent success in manufacturing it in Japan. The technological thinking and dedication that fueled his development of the first boiler to be manufactured in Japan has been passed down to the present day as Takuma’s DNA.
The phrasing “To serve the next 50 years of customers” emphasizes the fact that we actually create products that will be needed by communities and companies 50 years in the future.
The phrase “To create the next 100 years of society” emphasizes our strong commitment to developing current businesses, technologies, and services into the technologies and services that will be needed by the society of the future while creating useful products and continuing to play an essential role in society.
