Kubota's lawn mowers, which are mainly used in North America, Europe, and Oceania, have earned high praise for their unique technologies and excellent quality. And Kubota's utility vehicles, which are dependable partners for movement over vast areas, provide excellent handling and convenience along with outstanding comfort, and the abundant natural environments that they help to conserve add refreshment to people's lives.

Air Conditioning

Air conditioning equipment that provides comfortable environments for people

Various types of buildings require different internal environments, such as comfort in office buildings, quiet operation in theaters and libraries, and cleanliness and stable temperature and humidity for hospitals and factories. Kubota helps to provide comfortable living environments by providing Pure Washer, its commercial humidified air cleaner based on technologies cultivated through installations of central air conditioning in large structures such as buildings and hospitals as well as clean room air conditioning systems.

Environmental Recycling

Solutions to turn the waste from human activities into valuable resources again

While people's lives are becoming more affluent, waste generated through daily living and industrial activities has long been a social issue. Kubota, through total recycle processes that include shredding, sorting, incineration, and melting, seeks to realize a circular society based around deep recycling technologies that not only process waste products properly but also extract valuable materials from them.

Supporting the World's Industries through Technologies Acquired through Manufacturing

Kubota began its business with cast metal products. For 130 years, through unyielding effort and trial-and-error, we have introduced a wide range of products and solutions in the fields of food, water, and the environment. The technologies and experience we have cultivated through these processes are utilized in a variety of businesses to support industry. Through industrial engines that are indispensable for manufacturing, measuring equipment and sensors that enable high-precision measurements, and materials that serve as parts and components for industrial products, we contribute to the development of industry by providing our products to manufacturing sites throughout the world.

Engine

Kubota engines support global industry development and contribute to environmental conservation

Kubota began developing engines using its cast iron technologies. We have developed a wide variety of industrial engines covering as many as 2,000 types that are tailored to the needs of various fields and the regulations and circumstances of each country. These engines constantly support local workplaces as power sources for industrial machinery. Plus, in response to the increasing global awareness of environmental conservation, we have made reducing environmental impact a priority, developing engines with outstanding environmental performance that comply with strict European emissions regulations. As a global leader in compact general-purpose industrial engines, we are leading the field and supporting a wide range of industries throughout the world.
