Ishida Co. Ltd.
Japanese maker of multihead weighers, packaging, and food inspection systems, based in Kyoto since 1893, holding roughly 70% global share in multihead weighers.
Ishida Co. Ltd. is a Kyoto-based Japanese manufacturer specializing in weighing, packaging, and inspection equipment for the food industry. The company traces its origins to 1893, when it began manufacturing weighing scales under Japan's first weights and measures license, and was formally incorporated in 1948 as Ishida Scales Mfg. Co. Ltd. by Otokichi II Ishida.
In 1972, Ishida invented the multihead weigher using a computer combination weighing (CCW) system, and first exported it in 1978; the company now holds approximately 70% of the global multihead weigher market. Product lines include multihead weighers (CCW series), checkweighers, X-ray inspection systems (including the IX-PD Series with photon-counting technology), tray sealers, bagmakers, and integrated line-management software. Industries served include snacks, fresh produce, frozen food, meat, poultry, seafood, bakery, pharmaceuticals, and industrial parts.
Ishida operates international subsidiaries in Europe, North America, Brazil, Malaysia, China, Thailand, Korea, Vietnam, Indonesia, and India.
