KAJIpower, for the EARTH
Kaji Technology Corporation is a time-honored company, having been founded in 1905, with this year marking our 119th anniversary. Originally founded as a manufacturer of textile machinery, we now focus on compressors for air and various gases, supplying high- and ultra-high-pressure compressors for a variety of applications to both domestic and overseas customers.
Over the years, we have introduced a wide range of products based on our advanced technology, including compressors for CNG (compressed natural gas) vehicles, PET bottle molding, industrial plants, and hydrogen stations. Since we began commercializing ultra-high-pressure compressors for FCV (fuel cell vehicle) hydrogen stations in 2014, we have supplied compressors to a total of 60 locations as of September 2024, making us the leading manufacturer of this product in Japan.
With demand in this area entering the next stage, there is growing interest in hydrogen stations for large commercial vehicles such as buses and trucks. As this expected shift from passenger vehicles gets underway, we are focusing on the development of larger compressors and ongoing improvements to reduce the running costs of hydrogen stations. We are also advancing development of compressors for the hydrogen supply chain, which is expected to expand significantly in the future.
Furthermore, various efforts and developments aimed at achieving a carbon-neutral society, such as green ammonia synthesis, synthetic fuels (e-fuel), methanation, hydrogen engines, and CCUS (carbon capture, utilization, and storage), are being actively pursued, and we are receiving numerous inquiries regarding these initiatives. We believe that our ultra-high-pressure technology can be applied to the practical implementation of these innovations, and we are committed to responding to customer needs and contributing to the resolution of societal issues through timely introduction of new products and services in line with market trends.
We are proud that our company’s activities are making a meaningful contribution to society, including the betterment of the environment. We will continue to promote transparent management, ensure stable performance, and boldly pursue new challenges to remain at the forefront of progress.
