OBE Quality

“That crane is Beast-Level.” Built to leave a lasting impression. A new chapter of challenge begins.

The spirit we inherited became 100 years of craftsmanship.

Founded in 1914 as “Obegumi” in Amagasaki, Hyogo, we have inherited more than technology. We carry forward an uncompromising commitment to quality, integrity, and dedication to every challenge before us.
For over 100 years, these values have shaped every machine we build and continue to drive our craftsmanship today.

We are not afraid of change. Reinvention is the signal that we evolve.

Now, after more than 100 years of history, we see this as the beginning of a new chapter. Symbolizing that shift is our new tagline: “That Crane is Beast-Level.”
This rebranding is more than an external message. It marks a transformation for our people, our leadership, and the company itself. Embracing challenge as our standard, we move forward with pride in our heritage and a drive to create at an even higher level.

Toward the next 100 years, continuing to take on “monstrous” challenges.

We never settle for where we are today. Driven by a constant spirit of challenge, we build on the culture inherited from those before us and the uncompromising quality we have refined over generations.
This renewal is not our goal. It is the starting line for the next century. United as one team, our leadership and employees will continue to push forward, embracing new technologies, new ideas, and even greater ambitions.
The future of OBE will be shaped by our own hands.

Message from the President

My grandfather founded this company as a traditional steelwork and rigging business.After overcoming the hardships of war, my father, the previous generation, devoted himself to developing cargo-handling cranes that supported Japan’s rapid economic growth and the modernication of its ports. Through times of great change, he pursued efficiency, innovation, and progress with unwavering determination.

Born in Japan, we have inherited its passion, resilience, and samurai spirit. As a company supporting the industries that drive this nation forward, we will continue to challenge ourselves every single day.

For us, “Entering a New Chapter” is not just a slogan, it is our declaration to keep evolving , keep challenging, keep building the future.
