Message From Our President

Sharing Japan’s finest pork with the world — driven by a vision for the future.
We are expanding our business with passion and purpose.
Our company began as a manufacturer of pig farming equipment and has since grown into a pioneer in developing integrated swine production systems. Guided by the philosophy of Eiichi Shibusawa—“Hold a dream, act to realize it, and contribute to society”—we have always stood alongside farmers, sharing their perspective and working hand-in-hand to pursue better pig farming practices. Through this close collaboration, we have accumulated extensive expertise.
Many of our products that are born from solving real challenges in the field, have become industry standards. With the ability to meet a wide range of needs, we continue to support livestock farmers across Japan.
Thanks to the trust of our customers place in us, we often hear, “If it’s Sekine, they’ll find a way,” and “It has to be Sekine.” We are honored to be relied upon across generations.
Moving forward, we will continue to value the human connections built through pig farming and turn farmers’ ideas into reality. Not only in Japan, but also through active global expansion, we aim to share Japan’s exceptional pork production with the world.
By linking new business initiatives to corporate growth, nurturing future talent, and pursuing our dreams, we remain committed to advancing our mission.
Masato Shinozaki Representative Director
