Matsumoto Machine Sales: The Centrifuge Pioneer

The centrifuge; equipment that produces purity from chaos. It enables the separation of various substances through the application of centrifugal force, many thousands of times stronger than the force of gravity, and is employed in a wide array of fields, such as pharmaceutical and chemical manufacturing, agricultural and marine product processing, mining, and various other industries. It is also utilized as an extremely useful tool for research in fields of biology like biotechnology, and in the chemistry that has been brought into the limelight by the application of fine chemicals. Centrifuges are in huge demand, both inside and outside Japan, as a machine that is indispensable to present-day industry and the technology of the future.

The Matsumoto Machine Group has been engaged in the research, development, manufacture, and sale of centrifuges since we began operation in 1939. We specialized in centrifuges and, as the backdrop of our uninterrupted passion of more than half a century, we have continually posed to ourselves the question, “What should a machine be?” So, just what should a machine be? ... Ultimately, the answer is “something useful to humans”. Naturally, it should be easy to operate and should demonstrate the maximum effect for its purpose, but should also be something that can make a contribution to human life and the global environment as well. That is what the Matsumoto Machine Group considers a “machine” to be.

The structure of industry is becoming increasingly complicated and stratified. In such a complex world, the ability to meet the variegated range of needs for machines is something that is also highly sought after. At the Matsumoto Machine Group, we embrace the pure desire to “provide machines that are truly useful” and the pure passion for developing centrifuges that play an active part in various fields. And that persistent stance is exactly what enables us to produce the technology that cultivates products that can satisfy new needs and the next generation.
