Our company has always been a pioneer. In 1930, as a division of Kobe Steel, Ltd., we produced the first piece of construction machinery to be manufactured in Japan: the 50K electric mining shovel. Since then, we have shaped our future with an indomitable spirit, developing many innovative construction machinery products.
To ensure a rapid response to changing needs, Kobelco Construction Machinery Co., Ltd. became an independent subsidiary of Kobe Steel in 1999.
Operating independently, we will continue to serve our clients as a full-service company specializing in construction machinery. As a member of the KOBELCO Group, we are committed to providing the high-quality products and excellent service our customers have come to expect from KOBELCO, with closer ties than ever to dealers and customers throughout the world.
The company pursues its business operations with priority given to users in the field. We listen carefully to our customers to identify exactly what they want and expect from the machines they use, and we keep our eyes open to anticipate emerging trends. By listening first, we are able to accurately meet the needs of the times, with products and services that maintain the very highest levels of quality.
Our primary mandate is to ensure customer satisfaction with products and services that have a high intrinsic value. Building on our many years of experience in the construction machinery field, we will continue to focus on user needs and, bearing in mind our three key words of simplicity, speed, and openness, work to ensure that every KOBELCO customer is fully satisfied
