COMPANY

Message

It is our belief that we are responsible for promoting a cycle in which the experience we gain thanks to our clients is repaid to future clients through the provision of even better vessels that can be used safely and with peace of mind.

Thank you for visiting our website.

We are a company with a track record building a wide range of FRP vessels, including fishing boats, passenger vessels, lifeboats placed aboard general merchant ships, and special work boats used for law enforcement and rescue purposes, and have experience that no other company can claim they have.

It is said that ship design is a process of empirical engineering, such that the number of vessels built represents the experience you amass. The more you build, the better the vessels will be.
The fishing boats made by Nishi-F allow us to catch loads of fish and are comfortable when ridden. Such words of gratitude expressed by clients are another reflection of the experience we have gained thanks to clients who have ordered products from us.

We believe that we are responsible for promoting a cycle in which the experience we gain thanks to our clients is repaid to future clients through the provision of even better vessels that can be used safely and with peace of mind.

Our head office factory houses a research and development site known as the FRP Design Lab, which has been equipped with three-axis and five-axis NC machines for processing products and cutting molds in accordance with high degrees of precision. This lab is utilized to produce interior parts for ambulances and playground equipment, which are obviously not related to ships.
This site allows us to mechanize some of the technology that we have cultivated through the building of FRP ships and engage in research and development work on products for which new molding methods and materials have been used.
We harness the superiority of FRP’s characteristics—lightweight, strong, and resistant to rust and corrosion—as well as shipbuilding technologies and new technologies in other areas to carry out proposal-based sales activities encompassing everything from design to prototyping and commercialization on a one-stop basis with a focus on transitioning from other materials to FRP.

We aim to continue serving as a company capable of contributing to society through manufacturing by leveraging our strengths.

Tomohito Watatani, President
