NARA Machinery Co., Ltd.

NARA Machinery Co., Ltd. is an industrial machinery manufacturer that designs, manufactures and sells powder and granular material processing equipment on a made-to-order basis, covering operations such as grinding, drying, classification, mixing, granulation and particle surface modification. Founded in 1924 by Nara Jiyuzo as Nara Shoten, the company began with the development of Japan's first high-speed rotary impact pulverizer and was reorganized as a joint-stock company in 1933. It serves industries including chemicals, food, pharmaceuticals and battery materials, and supports customers from R&D through mass-production lines with in-house testing and analysis capabilities.

NARA Machinery traces its origins to 1924, when founder Nara Jiyuzo established Nara Shoten and began selling machine accessories and tools. In 1925 the company succeeded in creating a high-speed rotary impact shear pulverizer and moved its head office from Shinagawa to Shiba Atago-cho. In 1927 a mass-production version of the high-speed impact pulverizer, the 'Jiyu pulverizer,' was completed. In 1930 the company built and relocated to a new head office and factory in Samezu, Shinagawa Ward, and changed its name to Nara Machinery Works. It was reorganized as Nara Machinery Co., Ltd. in 1933. The founder received honors including the Kuju Hosho in 1943, the Ranju Hosho in 1952, the Shiju Hosho in 1964 and the Order of the Sacred Treasure, Third Class in 1965. In 1966 an affiliated company, Nara Machinery Sales Co., Ltd., was established in Osaka. In 1986 a new head office and factory were built and relocated to Jonanjima, Ota Ward. In 1990 an affiliated company, N. M. KOREA Co., Ltd., was established in South Korea, and in 1999 a Hokkaido Satellite office was opened in Chitose. In 2008 the second president, Nara Jiki, received the Medal with Yellow Ribbon. In 2020 the 'Jiyu pulverizer No. 1' was recognized as Mechanical Heritage No. 102 for 2020 by the Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers, and in 2024 the company marked its 100th anniversary.
