Strategic Partnership Between GETABEC JAPAN and Hirakawa

In a significant move to strengthen their presence in the boiler market both domestically in Japan and internationally, GETABEC JAPAN, headquartered in Shinjuku, Tokyo, has announced a formal partnership with Hirakawa, a venerable boiler manufacturer based in Osaka, established in 1912. This collaboration aims to not only bolster their distribution and maintenance framework but also to fulfill the specific needs of their customers more effectively.

Details of the Partnership

The agreement outlines several key areas of cooperation that are set to enhance the offerings of both companies:

1. Mutual Sales Representation of Products

Both parties will engage in the mutual representation of their respective boiler products. GETABEC, which manufactures boilers in Thailand, will facilitate the sales of its biomass and thermal fluid boilers alongside Hirakawa’s leading product, the once-through boiler. Through this joint effort, they aim to expand their product range and present more attractive options to customers.

2. Installation and Maintenance by Hirakawa

Hirakawa will leverage its extensive network and rich experience in Japan to conduct the installation and maintenance of GETABEC’s boilers. With over a century of experience, Hirakawa boasts a robust track record across various industries, providing heating solutions to factories, hospitals, and commercial facilities. Its comprehensive service network, covering from Hokkaido to Okinawa, ensures reliable maintenance service, catering to emergency requirements with prompt responses.

3. GETABEC's Role in Global Outreach

Conversely, GETABEC will be responsible for the installation and maintenance of Hirakawa’s boilers outside Japan, particularly focusing on Southeast Asia including Thailand and Vietnam. GETABEC has managed to cultivate a strong dealer network and has established operational footprints in several countries around the globe, including Europe. The partnership is set to leverage GETABEC’s well-established sales and maintenance networks while enhancing Hirakawa’s global reach, with ambitions to expand into new geographical territories.

With the existing presence of Hirakawa in Thailand since 1995 through Thai Hirakawa Co., Ltd., the partnership aims to further enhance the operational capacity and outreach in the boiler market across Southeast Asia and South Asia.

Future Prospects

This collaboration is anticipated to elevate both companies’ capabilities and broaden their market presence significantly. As the world continues to pivot towards more sustainable and efficient energy solutions, this partnership will also focus on integrating advanced technologies and energy-efficient solutions into their product offerings. The signing of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on June 10, 2026, marks a pivotal moment for both entities as they set forth on this joint venture.
