GIKEN was established in January 1967 in Kochi prefecture, Japan with the purpose of eliminating environmental damage in the construction industry. The company started from scratch and then achieved success in developing the world's first reaction-based hydraulic press-in and extraction machine the "Silent Piler". The Silent Piler has eliminated vi... bration and greatly reduced noise in piling work at construction sites all over Japan. As a result, a "Press-in" industry was born and the company's pioneering technologies and achievement have been highly valued. They have also been spreading world wide. The press-in principle underlying the base of the company's technologies bears a lot of advantages and I am confident that it will form the main stream of the construction industry near future. With the application of the press-in technologies the company has developed various new construction methods to solve major problems by attaining shorter work duration, cost reduction and improvement of the working environment. Pushing the company's construction solutions forward, the company proudly advocate and promote the "Construction Revolution" to establish a new standard which surpasses the convention of the current construction industry. New innovative products and new markets can be created using the press-in technologies.
