About Us

Every great story has a humble beginning.

Originally started as a wood pattern factory in Miya-Machi, located in the Yamagata prefecture in 1923, the company rapidly started gaining relevance and four years later in 1927, the iron casting was part of our services and we renamed our company Harada Casting Factory and in 1940 our name was changed to Harada Manufacturing Co., LTD.

Five years went by and in 1945, the name Happy Sewing Machine Sales Co. was officially established. 

Later on in 1953, we changed our corporate name to Happy Sewing Machine Mfg. Co., Ltd and in 1969 our Tachiyagawa industrial plant was built and helped us grow and expand our horizons. Almost a decade later, in 1978, Taiwan Happy Sewing Machine  Mfg. Co., Ltd started operations in Taichung, Taiwan.

Finally in 1985 our name was established as Happy Industrial corporation.

In the new Millenium, (2000) we acquired the exclusive rights for the SINGER brand sewing machine in the Japanese market. Later on, in 2011, our head office was relocated to Tachiyagawa, Yamagata city, and got integrated with the plant.

HappyJapan Inc. was established in 2014 through a merger of 3 companies: Happy Industrial  Corporation, Tohoku Seiki Industries., Ltd, and Singer Happy Japan Co., Ltd.
