Company Philosophy

Our Foundation

At OBE, we regard every employee as a valued member of our team. Because our work demands the highest levels of precision and safety, we foster a culture built on trust, open communication, and mutual respect. People with diverse skills and perspectives come together to pursue a shared goal, creating not only products, but also lasting value through teamwork and dedication.

Our Vision

Rooted in the spirit of Japanese craftsmanship and responsibility, we strive to understand and exceed our customers’ expectations. We continuously challenge ourselves to improve, dedicating our knowledge, skills, and passion to every project. Through this commitment, we aim to create products and services that contribute to our customers’ success and earn their trust.

Integrated Production System

At OBE, we believe that delivering reliable products begins with taking full responsibility for every stage of the process. That is why we have maintained an integrated in-house production system throughout our history.
From design and manufacturing to installation and maintenance, every step is managed by our own team. This approach enables close attention to detail, rapid response to customer requirements, and the flexibility to turn new ideas into reality. It also ensures that the people who know our products best are the ones supporting them throughout their entire lifecycle.
Our fully integrated production system is a source of pride and a key factor behind the quality, reliability, and service that our customers have come to expect from OBE.

Our Principles

Creating value for our customers, our company, and our employees as one.

Working together with a spirit of harmony, trust, and teamwork.

Pursuing innovation through creativity and continuous improvement.

Since its establishment as a plant maintenance company serving the chemical, steel, and non-ferrous metal industries, OBE expanded into crane manufacturing in 1963. Since then, we have provided integrated solutions covering planning, engineering, manufacturing, and maintenance. Adapting to the evolving demands of global logistics, we have developed large-scale, multi-purpose cranes that support a wide range of port and industrial operations.

In 1975, we entered the amusement equipment manufacturing sector, producing attractions such as roller coasters and Ferris wheels. Leveraging advanced three-dimensional fabrication technologies, we have manufactured numerous roller coasters for customers in Japan and abroad. ( Planning and design for amusement rides are provided by specialized partners. )

Celebrating our 100th anniversary in 2014, OBE continues to build on more than a century of experience, technical expertise, and craftsmanship. Through our integrated in-house production system and flexible approach to innovation, we remain committed to taking on new challenges and contributing to the growth and success of our customers for years to come.
