Kobayashi Engineering Works, Ltd. was established on July 14, 1947, 70 years ago. The founder, Mr. Tadashi Kobayashi made the fi rst step of iron works in a rent warehouse of paper mill and installed some machine tools. After that, company becomes as present as a result of technical cooperation with overseas machine suppliers, developing own technologies and business transfer.

Recently the business of paper machine vs. fi lm converting machine become almost equal in sales. In case of paper machine, the machine modifi cation including various product grade change and new machine for special paper and in case of fi lm converting machine, the both sides coater for separator of Lithium ion battery are becoming the main business.

We feel the change of the time because we had the past age that “Kobayashi is for paperboard machine builder” after we succeeded the development of Ultra Former.

We will perform business reform toward the company structure targeting 100 years future by not only the reinforcement of machine tools but also suggestion to the client utilizing the convenience and the experience as domestic machine supplier in Japan in order to develop new Kobayashi.
