On November 6 2013 IHI Shibaura held a special ceremony at its' Matsumoto, Nagano factory.
We celebrated the cumulative production of 2.5 million diesel engines since 1961 when we launched our first diesel engine.
Shibaura with its' joint venture partner Perkins are proud of this milestone event.
The reason we have been able to achieve 2.5 million production units is due to the support of our OEM customers and Shibaura associates said Seiichi Daita, president of IHI Shibaura Machinery Corporation.
