Kuriyama Holdings is a corporate group that develops "essential businesses"
which are indispensable to society, operating globally and across diverse sectors.
We develop and provide a wide range of rubber and plastic products for diverse sectors, including agricultural machinery, construction machinery, commercial vehicles, power plants, and shipbuilding. By combining the functions of a global trading company with those of a manufacturer equipped with cutting-edge sensor technologies, we provide high-value-added products and services.
In Japan, we supply globally proven overseas brands of sports flooring materials for gymnasiums, stadiums, and athletic grounds, as well as our own original flooring brands for commercial facilities and railway stations.
We manufacture and sell hoses for a wide range of applications, including beverage, agriculture, mining, and infrastructure.
To meet diverse customer needs, we leverage our manufacturing sites in the United States and Canada, along with a logistics network that covers all of North America, to deliver industry-leading technologies, product variety, and services.
We manufacture and sell layflat hoses, fittings, and nozzles for a wide range of sectors, including firefighting, oil and gas, and mining. We are strengthening our global collaboration and expanding our sales channels and market penetration in untapped markets in Oceania, where we have newly entered, as well as in Europe region, the Middle East, and South America.
Kuriyama's history began when our founder, Yoshio Kuriyama, started a rubber products wholesale business in Osaka. Building on the trust of our customers, Kuriyama has continued to grow without pause.
Here, we introduce Kuriyama's journey from its founding in 1939 to the present day.
Our products help build a sustainable society in many places, both in Japan and around the world.
While accelerating our global expansion as a hose manufacturer with bases in North America, Europe, South America, and Oceania,
we also diversify our business in Japan as a Tier1 supplier to construction and agricultural machinery manufacturers,
and as a comprehensive manufacturer of flooring materials for commercial and sports facilities.
We operate essential businesses that are indispensable for our safe and secure lifestyles and the smooth functioning of society. We have also built a diversified business portfolio covering different fields and industries.
By maintaining stable earnings as a company needed by society, while dispersing risk and appropriately allocating management resources, we aim to strengthen our corporate structure and achieve sustainable growth.
We operate globally through a network of 32 Group companies, including consolidated subsidiaries, sub-subsidiaries, and affiliates, spanning 11 countries worldwide, including Japan.
Leveraging optimal resources--such as labor, technology, and logistics--in each region enables efficient business operations, while operating in multiple regions mitigates the risk of dependence on any single market. We aim to steadily capture global demand and strengthen our earning power by enhancing our competitiveness in each region and reinforcing collaboration within the Group.
We are strengthening our research and development functions with the aim of generating high-value-added technologies, products, and talent on a global scale.
To respond quickly and flexibly to diversifying market needs, we consolidate information, technology, talent, and intellectual property across business categories. We aim to further increase our corporate value by enhancing our product development capabilities, including the creation of new products and features, and by reinforcing quality control.
We have formulated a medium-term management plan that embodies the KURIYAMA MANAGEMENT PLAN (KMP) 2039,
our long-term vision looking ahead to 2039, our 100th anniversary of our founding.
We have set our management vision as "A company that grasps the needs of its customers and contributes to building a sustainable society."
Aiming to create prosperous future of success and mutual growth for all,
we will enhance our corporate value through business initiatives that contribute to the global environment and society.
Kuriyama Group aims to "create prosperous future of success and mutual growth for all."
To that end, we sponsor sports events and provide support to sports teams and athletes.
