Since 1875, SHINAGAWA has been a global leader in high-quality refractories, supporting critical social infrastructure and delivering optimal solutions across nearly every essential industry. In recent years, guided by our fundamental strategy of PROXIMITY, we have placed greater emphasis on serving markets outside Japan to expand our global reach and strengthen customer closeness worldwide.

Product–market fit has always been central to SHINAGAWA’s approach: delivering valued, needed solutions at competitive cost. By working closely with our customers, we are able to adjust our solutions flexibly and respond in a timely manner to constantly evolving market needs.

In 2025, as we celebrated our 150th anniversary, we became SHINAGAWA REFRA, reflecting our expansion beyond refractories into insulation materials, advanced ceramics, and engineering services. We remain dedicated to supporting industries around the world and contributing to a prosperous, vibrant society.

“Achieving the Optimum through Ceramics.”
