Nippon Sharyo, Ltd.
 PROFILE
Nippon Sharyo keeps chugging along. The company has three main segments; its largest manufactures trains, including cars for the "shinkansen" (a world-famous Japanese high-speed bullet train), and other transportation equipment such as railway cars and subway trains. Its other two divisions make construction equipment and steel structures such as bridges. The company's smaller businesses build grain complexes and provide chemical industry equipment like dioxin-control incinerators and molecular distillation equipment. More than 90% of the company's sales occur within Japan. Although sales have improved, Nippon Sharyo profits have been hurt by Japan's economic problems.
