First of all, we would like to express our gratitude for your valuable support on our products.

For over 110 years, we have been making contributions to society by following our company’s philosophy of “Contributing to society with excellent products.”

Even today, we continue to develop a variety of machinery, such as material-handling and earth-moving equipment, to meet to needs of the changing times.

It would be no exaggeration to say that our current technologies can be traced through our history of developing original technologies. Since the time of our establishment, we have valued creativity and worked to further technological innovation with a pioneering spirit.

Starting with our manufacturing of internal combustion engines in the early 20th century, we have continued to develop material-handling, construction, and industrial equipment, such as truck cranes, hydraulic excavators and street sweepers. In the 1980s, we began to provide the market with rough terrain cranes and all terrain cranes and, in the 1990s, we introduced super large sized truck mounted cranes that have revolutionized the construction machinery industry.

Over the years, the KATO brand has won worldwide trust as a technology-oriented manufacturer with a wealth of experience and a solid track record.

We mark the 21st century as a new era of progress and have made a fresh start for the future. In addition, we have instituted the new slogan, " Innovations for the future," to promote new challenges in the times ahead. We commit to continue making innovations for the future, enhance corporate values, and help create an affluent society as a global enterprise.

We would like to ask you to continue supporting our products in the future.
