Corporate Information
The Kumagai Gumi Group's Value Creation History
1898 to 1945
Our founding and initial growth period
Work on difficult projects in difficult places
Kumagai Gumi started its operation in January 1898 when Kumagai Gumi founder Santaro Kumagai, who had worked as a stone mason in Fukui, undertook aqueduct construction at the Shikununo Power Station. Kumagai Gumi has carried forward his words of "If there is any challenging construction work, let me do it" to take on challenging construction projects.
1946 to 1960
Postwar reconstruction period Birth of Kumagai Gumi as tunnel experts
After the war, Kumagai Gumi established its Building Construction Division and contributed to the reconstruction of Japan. The Civil Engineering Division was involved in many tunnel construction projects. It was quick to adopt mechanized construction, and dramatically improved productivity. The division took charge of the hard construction of the Omachi Tunnel at the Kurobe River No. 4 Power Plant and solidified the reputation of Kumagai Gumi as tunnel construction experts.
1961 to 1980
Second growth period
Rapid progress and challenges
As the Japanese economy grew rapidly, Kumagai Gumi's Architectural Construction Division made remarkable advances, including the receipt of consecutive BCS Prizes and the construction of skyscrapers. The Civil Engineering Division, too, recorded numerous achievements that include the first use in Japan of NATM, which became a standard tunnel construction method. We went on to conduct business development on a global stage, particularly in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia.
1981 to 1990
Third growth period Active business expansion
Our Overseas Projects expanded not only in Asia but US, Australia and so on. In 1985, Kumagai Gumi recorded over one trillion yen in orders along with the industry's highest ordinary income of 32.6 billion yen.
1991 to 2014
From crisis to reorganization
Kumagai Gumi was hit by the bursting of the economic bubble. Facing a financial crisis triggered by massive real estate investments, the company requested financial aid two times. It promoted thorough business revolution, tackled new fields of construction, and undertook the development of technologies such as unmanned construction. In 2014, Kumagai Gumi completed the cancellation of preferred stocks and achieved its reconstruction.
2015 onward
New founding period Aiming for a sustainable company
In 2016, Kumagai Gumi made a new start with the formulation of the Kumagai Gumi Group Vision Statement.
In 2017, the company entered into a business and capital alliance with Sumitomo Forestry Co., Ltd. with the aim of building a unique new position extending beyond its existing business domains. The company marked the 120th anniversary of its founding in 2018.
