In 1804, when Indonesia was under British rule and Napoleon Bonaparte was crowned Emperor of France, Shimizu Corporation began its 200-year history in Japan. Shimizu Kisuke founded the company in Edo, the historical name for Tokyo during the Tokugawa Shogunate, starting his carpentry business.
During the Meiji Restoration era, our company's management philosophy was "Rongo to Soroban" ("The Analects and the Abacus"), which emphasizes the integration of economy and ethics. At Shimizu, we also embraced the belief that a company operating ethically and contributing to society would naturally achieve prosperity and growth.
Methods and technology in the construction industry are evolving rapidly with the swift development of this era. However, this does not alter our core value: "Creating quality products that ensure our clients' satisfaction." Thus, our company's growth is assured.
Our Jakarta branch was established in 1980, and we are committed to conducting business activities deeply rooted in the local community of Indonesia—a country blessed with diverse cultures and rich natural resources.
Having accumulated years of experience and knowledge in Indonesia, we are actively involved not only in architecture but also in civil engineering and real estate development. By listening to your voices and accurately understanding the needs of the community, we aim to be a company that walks and grows together with you.
Our work is not merely an economic activity; we are committed to contributing to Indonesia development and enriching people's lives. To achieve this, we respect local cultures and values, build trust within the community, and promote sincere and sustainable business practices. We strive to become a company that Indonesians are glad to have, and this aspiration drives our daily activities. Contributing to the community also fosters our own growth. Through initiatives in various fields such as education, environment, employment, and welfare, we aim to provide value to society and collectively build a better future for Indonesia. We will continue to pursue our business with sincerity and passion, aspiring to be a company cherished by the people of Indonesia.
