Message from CEO

SKK Corporation CEO Seigo Ushimado

SKK was founded in 1956 as a marine crane manufacturer in Kochi City, Kochi Prefecture in the beginning of high economic growth in Japan.

We have developed marine cranes focusing on client’s needs taking advantage of our distinctive features “Custom-Made” for over 60 years since we founded. We have provided various products required for marine construction to our clients through Japan and overseas.

For marine cranes in the future, we believe that it is important to take measures to reduce environmental impact, improve efficiency, and save labor. We will work on "manufacturing" to meet the needs of client’s and society.

Our company will continue to be a company loved by local people and needed by society, both in Kochi, where it was founded, and in Tadotsu, the gateway of our main factory to the sea.
