Maruyama
Maruyama has been manufacturing pumps in Japan for over 120 years. We also manufacture sprayers by applying pump technology. The circumstances surrounding agriculture have undergone major changes these past few years. We develop labor-saving and highly functional products for farms to increase efficiency.
