Masuko

Shig Masuko plays a vital role in Gray’s success with foreign markets by aiding in the design and execution processes for Japanese companies looking to establish or expand operations in the United States. As vice president of the Japanese market, he oversees business development as a key liaison between U.S. project teams and international customers. Throughout his 23 years with Gray, Shig has strengthened our presence in the Japanese market by cultivating valuable relationships with state representatives, government officials, and top executives. 

Shig’s history at Gray began with his father, who was involved in one of Gray’s first Japanese projects. Inspired by Gray’s long-standing commitment to its customers, Shig was excited to learn and grow with the company, eventually becoming Gray’s Japan office representative. Over the years, he’s advanced Gray’s strategic goals and contributed his expertise to major projects for companies like Morinaga, Yakult, Mitsubishi, Toyota Boshoku, and UBE Corporation. 

When he’s not working, Shig enjoys spending time with his family and visiting castle ruins.
