Explosion proof work of Showa Astec =
Technology for explosion-proof electrical work

We are a pioneer in the field of explosion-proof technology in the field of explosion-proof electrical work. The technical know-how we have developed over the years is highly regarded not only in Japan but also in the Middle East, one of the world's leading oil-producing regions, and in other countries.

From explosion-proof technology to maintenance

Nowadays, we have also entered the field of maintenance by applying explosion-proof electrical work technology. Maintenance prolongs the life of machines and equipment and achieves higher productivity throughout the plant, including operational efficiency and cost reduction.
