Every day, all of us use numerous products made of rubber, which are indispensable to our contemporary way of life. Among them are tires for trucks and automobiles, belting, hoses, gloves, and innumerable other items. The list goes on and on, from golf balls, tennis balls and other sports equipment, to rubber dampers that protect buildings from earthquakes, and parts for all types of high-tech equipment. As history progresses, so does the growth in the number of fields where rubber plays a vital role.

Nakata Engineering Co. was established in 1914, the year World War I began, in Kobe, the cradle of the Japanese rubber industry. In the 90 years since then, we have focused solely on designing and manufacturing specialized production machinery for our customers in the rubber industry, helping them to achieve greater efficiency, standardization, and quality control of their products.

The story of Nakata Engineering mirrors that of Japan’s rubber industry itself. Nakata was among the first to expand into Europe and North America, and then across the globe, earning a reputation for excellence in quality, reliability and service both at home and abroad. However, we are not content to rest on our laurels. There is still much to accomplish as we work in partnership with our customers, continuing to make engineering breakthroughs and new advances in rubber technology.

In the future, Nakata Engineering will continue working for further technological advancement, and delivering the highest quality equipment to make a contribution to society and to people everywhere.
