Creating lightweight roofs that are strong against earthquakes and typhoons. Baba Shoten, from development to manufacturing and sales of roofing materials.
Baba Shoten Co., Ltd. started as a transportation business delivering white soil, the raw material for tiles, and clay used for roofs to local tile roof contractors. Later, it shifted to manufacturing and began selling bagged "blended clay" to roofing material suppliers and contractors primarily in the Tokyo metropolitan area. Subsequently, it developed "Nanban," a mixture of lime, sand, and clay, and further created "Silguard," which adds water-repellent properties (Patent No. 3196058). Today, it has grown into a top-share manufacturer producing and selling these materials at five factories nationwide. "We create roofing materials together with everyone." This reflects our passionate commitment to not being satisfied with our current products and to continuously research and develop better products and methods with all of you. In 2008, Baba Shoten developed the "Dry Type Surface Sheet High Roll," a product and method that does not use Nanban (Patent No. 4384725), which has already been adopted by major house manufacturers and roofing material manufacturers. Baba Shoten will continue to lead Japan's roofs and roof ridges in the future. For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.
