History of IBUKI KOGYO CO.,LTD

Our business started the production of an electrical appliance, electric dynamometer, selsyn motor, AC/DC electric motor, switchboard and distribution board etc. On 1926, motor siren was one of core product supplied for flight base, time signals, air-raid alarm and emergency alarm. At the same time we started to manufacture a motor siren, steam horn and air horn for a ferryboat, warship and even some oil/chemical plant.

Since 1945, we focused on the production of whistle system, general alarm system and automatic fog signal controller for merchant ship and warship all over the world.

IBUKI knowledge and technology accumulate about acoustic performance for safety navigation at sea. As a leading marine signal supplier, we innovate high efficiency equipment and system which conduct the vessel on safety way.
