Our History
Miura’s journey began in 1927 as a company that manufactured farming machinery using steam power in Matsuyama, Japan. As years passed, it became obvious that there was a need for more efficient, reliable, and safe steam boilers. That’s why, in 1959, Miura developed the Z-Type boiler and Miura Company, Ltd was born. The modular, compact, and efficient design was a revolutionary solution in a country where fuel cost is exceptionally high, space is at a premium, and environmental concerns are paramount. Since then, Miura has earned 57% of the domestic once-through boiler market in Japan and now has operations in 19 countries across the globe.
Operations in North America started in 1987 and Miura now operates factories in the U.S., Canada, and Brazil with additional facilities located in Mexico.
