ShinMaywa Industries
“Japanese-engineered PBBs with AI auto-docking and barrier-free cabins.”
Company brief
ShinMaywa Industries is a Japanese diversified engineering group whose Aircraft Passenger Boarding Bridge division markets the PAXWAY (TM) family of passenger boarding bridges to airports worldwide. The PAXWAY product line is positioned as highly customisable to airport layout and aircraft mix, and is offered in four main variants and several sub-types: a Fully Flat Model (universal-design tunnel with no internal steps, available with glass or steel-plated tunnels), an A380-Compatible Model, a Glass Wall Type Model, Steel Wall Type Models (with windows or external panels), and a Regional Jet-Compatible Model. ShinMaywa was the first manufacturer in the world to develop a boarding bridge for the Airbus A380 super-jumbo and built unique preset-running technology and an anti-collision function into the product to allow safe docking at the upper-deck second-floor door, with refinements for tighter fit on the aircraft body. PAXWAY's Fully Flat tunnel is designed for safety and accessibility - smooth boarding for passengers with wheeled cases or wheelchairs - and the broader range supports docking with aircraft of all sizes. Beyond the boarding-bridge business, the wider ShinMaywa Industries group operates in special-purpose trucks, parking systems, wire processing, environmental systems, vacuum coating and surface modification, water-treatment equipment, built-in DD motors and aircraft (notably the US-2 amphibious aircraft). Group footprint includes North America (ShinMaywa America, ShinMaywa California), Southeast Asia (Thai ShinMaywa, ShinMaywa Bangkok, ShinMaywa Asia Pte Singapore), and East Asia subsidiaries in Taiwan and Korea. R&D priorities for the boarding-bridge business include automatic-attachment systems for hands-free docking.
