Connecting and making connections: For people, for society.

Toshitake Masuko, President and Representative Director

EAML was founded just two years after the war ended based on the conviction of our founder Shiro Oda that “increased food production and expanded power capacity were essential to save an impoverished Japan.”
The company worked to spread small-scale hydropower as a method to improve daily life in rural areas, traveling around Japan to survey sites suitable for hydropower and working to construct generating stations. These efforts supported the recovery and electrification in many areas, especially throughout the Chugoku region, and made significant contributions to the restoration of local communities.

Almost 80 years have passed since then. Times have changed and the social environment surrounding us has also undergone significant changes. As we currently face new issues including the conservation of the global environment and sustainability for the energy industry, hydropower has once again attracted attention as renewable energy and is increasing in importance.
Even as the goal has changed from “post-war recovery” to “achieving a sustainable society through renewable energy,” the value of hydropower has remained the same. “Let’s work for the improvement and betterment of society.” This aspiration of our founder has been passed down as an unbroken tradition to us today in the form of our corporate spirit, “EAML Heritage.”

Through “VISION 80,” our mid to long-term management plan aimed at the 80th anniversary of our founding in 2027, we strive not only to further strengthen our manufacturing capabilities as a producer, but also to undertake new challenges and initiatives aimed at promoting further implementation of small-scale hydropower.
By cherishing dialog with our customers, partner companies, local community members, and all our employees, we are cultivating connections and making efforts to provide the value demanded for the next generation.

“Connecting and making connections: For people, for society”

Moving forward, we will continue to connect with a sense of purpose, pass our aspirations onward, and contribute to the sustainable development of society with the power of water. We ask for your continued understanding and support.
