KOBELCO is a leading brand with a rich history in the production of excavators. The development of their product line combines eight decades of experience and innovation from the most modern Japanese factories, united in a single goal – building and manufacturing the highest quality and highly efficient excavators. Many years of development and investment in this field lay the foundations of the well-developed technology that guarantees Kobelco’s reliability, even in the most difficult working conditions.
In 1930, a company known as KOBELCO created Japan’s first straight bucket excavator. This machine set the stage for all future Kobelco construction machines and set the tone for technological development and innovation for decades.
Instead of the traditional development path taken by most construction machinery manufacturers of expanding their portfolio with different types of equipment, Kobelco chooses to devote time, investment and resources to creating the best excavators. This tradition continues to this day and regardless of the company’s growth and changes in structure, Kobelco remains focused on one main priority – excellence in excavators. Their dedication to this endeavor has rewarded them with a host of industry-leading technologies and equipment, allowing customers to continue to trust the Kobelco brand and products. A legacy of 80 years of experience provides an unrivaled knowledge in the construction of high-performance yet economical Japanese excavators.
