Hand-built in Japan - Kobelco R&D

At Kobelco, as part of the Kobe Steel Group, we have access to significant resources for product development. However, this investment increased again in 2012 with the establishment of the Global Engineering Center (GEC) in Japan. The center’s primary role is to help integrate and optimise the Group's research and development, supply chain and production operations.
In fact, we passionately believe in striking a good balance between manufacturing that makes the best use of the latest technology, and people with expertise. With this in mind, the Itsukaichi factory is home to an army of highly-skilled craftsmen and women who work with precision to help Hand-Build and assemble Kobelco’s quality excavators.
In the series Hand-Built in Japan, we are exploring key areas of our manufacturing process at our Itsukaichi factory from the Global Engineering Center and fabrication and welding sections, to upper/lower assembly and quality control, as well as meeting some of Kobelco’s key engineers.
