Business1969 – present
Draft translation
A shipbuilder that moved its head office and works to Shiomi in 1969, after its land was bought for expressway construction.
According to Wikipedia, in 1969 Sumidagawa Shipbuilding moved its head office and works to Shiomi, Kōtō-ku, after its land was bought for the construction of an expressway. Its head office is at Shiomi 2-1-16. Of the firms in Shiomi whose year of arrival this research could establish, it is the earliest.
After the reclamation was completed, Shiomi grew as a typical semi-industrial district of shipping warehouses, ironworks, shipyards and sanitation depots (Wikipedia). The Shiomi district town-planning policy revised in 2026 also names "shipbuilding and other businesses that make use of the waterside" as a characteristic of its canal-side "waterside harmony zone".
