Kubota Corporation was founded in 1890 as a metal casting company. When cholera was spreading throughout Japan, Kubota began mass production of the first cast iron pipes in the country to help people avoid the disease.

Our founder, Gonshiro Kubota, believed that “products that contribute to the prosperity of the country must be developed with wisdom and soul.” He also believed that “our products should not only be technically superior, but should also serve society.” Inheriting this philosophy, we have always tackled social issues. Kubota Corporation developed agricultural machinery to deal with Japan’s food shortage after the war, and established water supply and sewerage and urban infrastructure development projects to deal with rapid economic growth.

Since the turn of the century, Kubota Corporation has begun global business development. In 2021, the international sales ratio will reach 78% of his, spanning 120 countries and regions around the world, addressing climate and environmental challenges in sophisticated regions. Today, Kubota Corporation sees food, water, and the environment as one business domain that utilizes each other, and develops new solutions to address difficult and complex problems.
