History
Founded in February 1890 by Gonshiro Kubota in Osaka as the Oide foundry (大出鋳造所, Ōide Chūzō-jo), the business changed name in 1897 and became the Kubota ironwork (久保田鉄工所, Kubota tekkō-jo) working on pipes, taps, and fire fight materials. Twenty years later, production moved to a new plant in Amagasaki in the Hyōgo prefecture.
