A Legacy of Innovation
Shibaura Machine traces its origins back to 1938 with the establishment of Shibaura Machine Tool Company. In 1961, the company became Toshiba Machine, growing into one of the world’s leading manufacturers of injection molding machines and advanced manufacturing technologies.
The Toshiba name originated from the merger of Tokyo Denki, founded in 1875, and Shibaura Seisaku-sho, established in 1890—two pioneering companies that played a key role in the development of Japan’s industrial sector.
On April 1, 2020, the company returned to its roots by adopting the name Shibaura Machine, reaffirming a long-standing commitment to technological innovation, engineering excellence, precision, and reliability.
The collaboration between EPF and Shibaura Machine began in 2013, establishing a strategic partnership focused on the sales and technical support of injection molding machines.
In 2026, this partnership evolved into a Joint Venture, strengthening the brand’s presence across the European market through an integrated organization dedicated to sales, technical service, application engineering, and customer support.
Today, Shibaura Machine EPF (SME) operates from a modern facility featuring technical offices, a dedicated showroom, and a spare parts warehouse. From selecting the most suitable machine to commissioning and long-term technical support, SME assists customers throughout every stage of the project and the entire lifecycle of their production systems.
