Ebara is the founder of the centrifugal pump theory. Through nearly a hundred years of development, Ebara has established 101 subsidiaries and 18 joint-stock companies around the world, with a total of nearly 20,000 employees. It has become one of the world’s top 500 mechanical manufacturing companies and one of the world’s largest pump product manufacturers, with annual sales of more than 4.5 billion US dollars, of which pump products have annual sales of more than 2.2 billion US dollars, ranking among the top two in the world in pump sales.
Establishment of the company
Ebara Manufacturing Co., Ltd. was founded in 1912 (formerly known as Iguchi Machinery Office) and changed its name to Ebara Manufacturing Co., Ltd. in 1920. In 1938, the Haneda Factory was established, which is a large pump factory with the world’s largest test field and the most advanced hydraulic component production line; in 1965, the Fujisawa Factory was established, which mainly produces general-purpose pumps, refrigerants, semiconductors and production machinery; and later the Sodegaura Factory was established to produce compressors, gas turbines, gas turbines and high-speed rotating machinery.
