Kobelco Systems’ mission is to respond to our customers’ diverse needs through the synergy between Kobe Steel and IBM.
We have inherited a “dedication to monozukuri (a Japanese approach to manufacturing) and good quality” from Kobe Steel, a manufacturing company with a 100-year history. We have also inherited “first-class innovation know-how” from IBM, a world-class leader in the information service industry. With these dual inheritances, we combine and harmonize the spirit of Japan and excellent ideas from the West.

Today, the blistering pace of progress in AI and other state-of-the-art technologies is fostering enormous changes in society, and this advancement is a source of corporate competitiveness. Responding to these conditions, we are fulfilling our responsibilities by constantly reinventing ourselves, cultivating value only we can deliver and passing it on to customers.

Standing together with all of the stakeholders who support our work, including customers, business partners, shareholders, regional communities, and employees and their families, we will continue to strive sincerely to fulfill our mission of supporting their and our growth.

We would be most grateful for your continued guidance, encouragement, and kind support in the future.

Fumihiro Segawa, President & CEO
