The 20-year collaboration between Shingu Shoko Ltd. and Hakki Pilke began in 2001. The relationship has grown over the years, developing into a profound partnership.
The Hakki Pilke 1X42 was the first machine delivered to the Japanese market. Shingu Shoko has a long history with 42-diameter machines, as over the years the Hakki Pilke firewood processors have evolved from the 1X42 to the Easy 42, and in 2017 to the 43 Pro. Today, Shingu-Shoko and their dealer network sell Hakki Pilke machines and log tables all over Japan.
“Shingu Shoko Ltd. and Hakki Pilke are true pioneers of the firewood processor business in Japan. We are very happy to see that the Hakki Pilke 43 Pro is the most popular processor model in Japan, as it is in many other countries around the world. We look forward to another 20 years of prosperous business relations with Shingu Shoko,” says Anssi Westerlund, Business Unit Director of Hakki Pilke.
Importer visits and dealer trainings play a key role in effective cooperation. Open discussions and a deep understanding of each other’s businesses are important. In-depth training and long-term cooperation are the secret behind excellent after-sales services, and they bring new opportunities for development.

Many years ago, Shingu Shoko Ltd was the first company to import and sell chainsaws in the Japanese market. Since then, they have expanded their operations to include all kinds of tree-related products, from firewood processors to wood-burning stoves. Their goal is to make their customers’ lives easier with machines that preserve our forests while reducing labor, boosting efficiency, and improving safety. Shingu Shoko also manages 5,000 hectares of forest across Japan and has always worked to protect this valuable domestic resource. As a result of their efforts, the company proudly received its Responsible Forest Management certification from the Forest Stewardship Council in 2005.
