About CEMA
Japan Construction Equipment Manufacturers Association (CEMA) was established in 1990, with the aim of promoting the sound development of the construction machinery industry and contributing to the development of the Japanese economy and the improvement of people's lives. Under its founding philosophy of "Contributing to society through harmonization and development" and "Symbiosis and competition", CEMA is focusing on the following four priority measures:
①Contribution to recovery from major earthquakes
②Measures for the environment and energy-saving
③Support for the member companies in their global expansion (and their activities in overseas markets)
④Responses to new technologies
In recent years, construction machinery operation sites are facing labor shortages resulting from aging population, as well as the “reform of working practices” aimed at improving the working environment. Under such circumstances, efforts are accelerating to put new technologies, such as remote control and autonomous driving of construction machinery, into practical use.
In addition, manufacturers are actively developing products that support decarbonization to ultimately achieve carbon neutrality. However, there are many challenges to overcome to implement these new technologies and products into society, such as complying with relevant laws and regulations, developing infrastructure, and utilizing subsidies. Individual manufacturers would be unable to do so alone.
In order to overcome these hurdles, CEMA will, together with its member companies, strengthen cooperation with governments and other relevant industries, and drive reform at the operation sites.
CEMA is resolved to further contribute to the development of the construction equipment industry and to realize a sustainable society, under continuous guidance from and cooperation with the relevant authorities.
