Supporting Modern Society and Environmental Protection Through Leading-Edge Technologies
Since its establishment in 1873, Taisei Corporation has undertaken many notable projects in Japan and overseas. Our corporate roots coincided with Japan’s development as a modern nation and we have continuously met the demands of a changing era and people’s aspirations for the future through sound construction operations.
As the world enters the second century of modern urban construction, there is a strong need to preserve historic scenery, protect the environment and create attractive public and private spaces. Taisei Corporation is responding with even more advanced technologies through research and development. With a capital position among the strongest in the industry, we are redoubling efforts to produce world-class, leading-edge technologies. Operations extend internationally, including the construction of dams and other environmental and infrastructure projects in developing nations.
