In an effort to bring attention to manufacturers our customers may have overlooked, we have started producing this Spotlight series that dives into the history, values and products of some of our favourite manufacturers. In this week’s post, we are going to take a look at Ebara, a Japanese company that makes environmental and industrial machinery.
History
Ebara was the brainchild of Issey Hatakeyama. It sprang to life in 1912 when he took the theory he had learnt from Dr Ariya Inokuchi at Tokyo Imperial University and put it into practice. Just seven years prior, Inokuchi had published ‘The Theory of Volute Pumps’, and had established himself as a global expert on the mechanism of centrifugal pumps. Inokuchi’s expertise quickly translated into commercial success; and in 1915, Ebara successfully handled an order for record-breaking sized volute pumps. Since then, the company has gone from strength-to-strength, earning a series of Japanese firsts (first axial flow pump, first centrifugal chiller and first rapid filter for city waterworks are just a few) and expanding operations both domestically and overseas.
Values
“Netsu to Makoto”, the Ebara mantra, roughly translates as ‘sincerity and enthusiasm’. It is plain to see how much this simple principle has guided Ebara’s success.
Ebara channels its enthusiasm for pumps into a search for innovative, efficient technologies. The rate at which it manages to churn out genuinely new technologies is startling and is testament to the company’s unwavering determination to create the best possible products for consumers. Part of the reason for their success in this area is their willingness to collaborate. They understand that a stubbornly insular approach to research and development is destined to fail. They have instead partnered with universities, research institutes and subsidiaries in a quest to better their technology.
Their sincerity as a company is demonstrated by their acknowledgement of their responsibility not just to their customers, but to society as a whole. As a manufacturer of pumps used in homes, industry and agriculture, they are cognizant of the environmental impact their products can have. To mitigate this, they take great care to prioritise the efficiency and reusability of their products.
