Greetings
Since our founding in 1969, we have been constantly developing technology to meet the needs of the times by making full use of our patented technologies and developing environmentally friendly and labor-saving equipment.
At the root of our efforts are the three company mottos that are the basis of our philosophy:
|1. Do not lie to yourself; 2. Do not deceive people or the society; 3. Be true to your dreams and ideals|. We work together with our employees to find solutions to deliver value that exceeds the expectations of our customers. That is what our company KOBEX is all about.
Based on this belief, we have provided our customers with a wide range of attractive products, such as solvent regeneration equipment and vacuum steam cleaning equipment (with built-in solvent regeneration) aimed at recycling organic solvents, and we have received many comments of satisfaction from our customers.
Thanks to our customers, we have recently developed into a company that receives inquiries not only from Japan but from all over the world.
As a comprehensive manufacturer of organic solvent equipment, we will continue to pioneer the future and make the most of new ideas and concepts to reduce the environmental impact.
