Announcement Regarding SAITO SEPARATOR's Participation in the Mitsubishi Kakoki Group through Capital and Business Alliance
On June 1, 2026, Mitsubishi Kakoki Kaisha, Ltd. announced that it acquired 52.5% of the outstanding common shares of SAITO SEPARATOR LIMITED.
Established in 1941, SAITO SEPARATOR is a specialist manufacturer of centrifugal separators, with which we have previously collaborated on sales. It has a particular strength in large-capacity centrifugal separators for food and beverage industry. On the other hand, our centrifugal separator "Mitsubishi Selfjector SJ-H Series" have a significant market share in marine applications, and applications are also being developed in various land-based fields.
SAITO SEPARATOR's centrifugal separators have a growing domestic market share, particularly in large-capacity land-based centrifugal separators. Meanwhile, we have a competitive advantage in small and medium-sized centrifugal separators and marine oil purifiers. Therefore, a high level of synergy through mutual complementarity is expected. In the future, we plan to pursue synergies not only in terms of product lineup but also in various aspects related to the centrifugal separator business, such as design, components, and procurement.
Centrifugal separators have long been widely used in food, pharmaceuticals, energy, and chemical/electronic materials. Recently, their use has expanded to alternative energy, new materials, and environmental fields, including the concentration of algae, which are attracting attention as a raw material for SAF - Sustainable Aviation Fuel, and the purification of waste cooking oil.
This capital and business alliance with the Mitsubishi Kakoki Group holds great potential for creating new energy and promoting a circular economy in the GX business, which is a focus area for the company. We will continue to actively pursue the development of new applications and expand sales of "centrifuges" and "solid-liquid separation."
