Visit to Nakashima Philippines Factory

We recently travelled to Manila to visit the Nakashima Propeller team at their Philippines factory. We spent time reviewing their design and manufacturing process and discussing the expansion of the Nakashima brand in Australia and New Zealand. We are currently working on a number of opportunities for Nakashima and look forward to bringing the very finest propulsion products to our customer across the region.

The Nakashima Philippines Corporation was established in 1989 as Mikado Philippines in the Cavite Export Zone. In 2009 Mikado joined the Nakashima group and in 2012 the name was changed to Nakashima Philippines Corporation. 

The Factory President is Mr Ryoji Michida and he leads a team of experts from Japan and the Philippines across a range of disciplines.
