馬場商店 Company Profile

Creating lightweight roofs that are strong against earthquakes and typhoons. Baba Shoten Co., Ltd. develops, manufactures, and sells 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 by selling bagged "mixed clay" to roofing material suppliers and contractors mainly 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). It has now grown into a leading manufacturer with a top market share, producing and selling these materials at five factories nationwide. "We create roofing materials together with everyone." This reflects our passionate commitment to continuously research and develop better products and methods alongside our customers, without being satisfied with our current offerings. In 2008, Baba Shoten developed the "Dry Type Face Sheet High Roll," a product and method that does not use Nanban (Patent No. 4384725), which has already been adopted by major housing manufacturers and roofing material manufacturers. Baba Shoten will continue to lead the roofs and ridges of Japan in the future.
