Iwaki

AKI Co. Ltd is headquartered in Tokyo and was founded in 1957 by the Japanese engineer Yoshiaki Fujinaka. During the 1960’s Y. Fujinaka developed a non-metallic industrial pump and replaced the ever-leaking shaft seals with two magnets. Thus disappeared a wide range of problems that traditional pumps suffer from, namely that they eventually leak and wear out.

From the very beginning, the concept was to supply pumps for aggressive liquids, and IWAKI was the first manufacturer in the world to produce the magnetic drive centrifugal pumps in synthetic materials. IWAKI’s products are produced from industrial plastics, and based on the idea of magnetic power transfer – without shaft seals – making IWAKI’s pumps completely dense and extremely reliable.
