AESSEAL launches key Japanese Partnership

The AES Engineering Group Ltd has established a strategic partnership in Japan, joining forces with Torishima Japan Co., Ltd. as part of the Group’s ongoing global growth strategy.

Under the terms of the deal, the new company, AESSEAL-Torishima Japan Co. Ltd (トリシマ-エーイーエス
シール ジャパン) has been formed to serve the country wide industrial customers in the territory of Japan.
Employees from both organisations have come together to provide a product and service support network for
all industrial segments with operations being initially based from Torishima’s headquarters in Osaka.

The UK-based Group, which owns AESSEAL®, the world’s largest homogeneous designer and manufacturer
of mechanical seals will make the entire product and service portfolio of both AESSEAL® and AES Sealing
products available to serve the Japanese sealing market to the highest global standards.

Kotaro Harada, President of Torishima said that AESSEAL’s product technology and dedication to customer
service and reliability made the decision to invest and join forces an easy one. “This coming together will
immediately improve AESSEAL’s Japanese market coverage, will open up new opportunities in other markets
across Japan and meets the request of AESSEAL’s global customers to increase their presence in Japan.”

Chris Rea, Managing Director of AES Engineering Ltd, said: “We have an ambition to be the world’s leading
reliability business and we cannot do that without a strong presence in Japan, which is the third largest country by GDP. Torishima is a long established and well-respected company with a great reputation and heritage, and there is also a business culture fit. Together we will bring a new and disruptive level of customer service on all AESSEAL group sealing products to a large underserved market.”

The new company was formed, and operations began on Tuesday 10 October 2023.
