In 1926 (the first year of the Showa Era), our company was founded as a business mainly focused on designing and manufacturing woodworking machines.
Since then, it has contributed to the development of the industry through its original ideas and product development, implemented through numerous patented technologies.
In particular, the CNC router invented by the 2nd president Isao Shoda in April 1968, which was the first such router developed in Japan. A revolutionary machine that automatically sculpts wood through computer control, it became the machine of the furniture and instrument industries.
Since then, we decided to become a company specializing in the production of CNC routers.
Specializing in CNC routers and concentrating management resources, we were able to continuously develop innovative new products with the world’s highest standards.
As a result of this, the SHODA brand became highly appreciated across the globe, and SHODA’s CNC routers began to be widely used overseas in the US, Europe, and Asia.
Since starting from woodworking machinery fifty years ago, we have changed our focus to general industrial machines, including tools and software with CNC routers as their core component. Currently, SHODA’s industrial machinery, including the CNC router, is widely used for light alloy materials such as aerospace industry, light alloys for railways, vehicles, carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) parts, aluminum building materials, ceramic exterior housing materials, entertainment equipment such as pachinko and slot machines, medical equipment and smartphones.
Since 2000, we have started production of CNC routers in Shanghai with the aim of raising cost competitiveness and targeting the Chinese market for future development. In 2001, we established a subsidiary in China, the Shanghai Shoda International Trading Co., Ltd.
In 2014 SHODA succeed in development of “Planet Blue”.The Planet Blue is suitable for the cutting of materials Lighter than Iron, which generate a very fine dust.Most CNC routers operate in an open environment and many companies have no way to manage this fine dust and protect their operators from the airborne health hazards. Shoda’s Planet Blue dust free router project is the result of our long-standing goal to bring new ideas to the CNC router market.The Planet Blue is designed to virtually eliminate the airborne health hazard, making a healthier working environment and at the same time reduce cleaning time, speed up production time thus saving on maintenance and operating costs.Received the Director-General of the Forestry Agency Award at TOKYO International Woodworking Machinery Show at that year. In 2016 PLANET BLUE (SPB5) received the Nikkei Sangyo Shimbun Industrial Design Award.
In 2019 the company name was changed to “The SHODA Company” in order to further globalize ourselves.
Continue to challenge ourselves to create industrial machines that satisfy our customers around the world, and will strive to enhance our after sales services that customers can use with confidence; “CNC router Concierge”
In addition, we believe that the mission given to SHODA, which developed the first CNC router, is to solve the problem of fine dust caused by the CNC router, protecting the health of workers, and contributing to the development of our customer companies. We will continue to develop excellent world-renowned CNC routers by using and studying the latest technology.
Additionally, while still fostering our “Never give up until the customer is satisfied” attitude, we want our hard work, product quality, and after sales service and support to make our customers say, “SHODA, what you’re doing is good!”
