Shimpo Product Catalog

    Shimpo was founded in 1952 as a manufacturer of electric motors.  As the simple potter's wheel is the ultimate application of that expertise, the first Shimpo electric potter's wheel were introduced in 1955 and would, over time, become the classic pottery wheel design which was envied by every pottery wheel manufacturer.  Today, Shimpo Ceramics is part of the Nidec group, a 6 billion dollar global company headquartered in Kyoto Japan that specializes in manufacturing some of the finest electrical motors, micro motors, spindle motors, drive units and instrumentation in the world.

    Based upon nearly the half century of manufacturing experience with pottery wheels and other devices, Shimpo introduced the Shimpo Whisper Series of pottery wheels in 2003.  Today, the Shimpo VL Whisper is considered the finest pottery wheel available any where in the world.

    For the ceramic and pottery industry, Shimpo manufactures electric pottery wheels, the world famous Shimpo Banding Wheel and a variety of accessory products with an emphasis in on well performing, quiet products.  The products showcased on Dogwood Ceramic Supply's Shimpo Product Catalog page are always on display in the Dogwood Ceramic Supply showroom and available in Dogwood's warehouse inventory for immediate delivery to anywhere in the United States.
