1924<\/p>\n

Founded as a plane stock manufacturing factory<\/p>\nIn 1924 (Taisho 13), Kobayashi Wood Works was founded as a planer \nmanufacturing factory by Kaneji Kobayashi in Miki city of Hyogo prefecture. \nAt that time, it was a small company with about three employees. Once the War \nbegan, the government levied the woodworking machinery and employees, which made \nthe business stagnate. During the confusion of the postwar period, Hisao \nKobayashi, the son of Kaneji, took over the business to support his seven siblings, and resumed manufacture and sale of large and small planers.
\nThe company became a factory of high manufacturing capacity, representing 12% of \nnational market share as a planer manufacturer. With time and the construction \nboom during the high growth period, the company began manufacturing fusuma\n (japanese traditional sliding doors) and fixtures, in addition to the production of planers\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

1990<\/p>\n

Undertaking furniture manufacturing with trusted fellows<\/p>\nIn 1990, Tomohiro Kobayashi, the third generation, who was learning operational \nconstruction management at a major general contractor, joined the company and \nundertook furniture manufacturing and carpenter construction at a full scale.
\nIn 2016, the company stopped the manufacturing of planers, and expanded furniture manufacturing into two branches; custom and mass production, and became a \nprofessional factory that can cope with both small and large lots. The company \nstarted to produce a mass quantity of furnitures for public facilities such as \nschools and hospitals. For hotels and wedding halls, luxury car dealerships, it \ncould also produce in large quantity the the same quality as order made bespoken manufacturing.\n<\/div>\n

2016<\/p>\n

Challenges of new creation for the next generation<\/p>\nWe began dealing with the German kitchen brand \u201cnobilia\u201dwhich has the largest \nshare of the world market in Europe. In 2020, we became the exclusive distributor in Japan, importing and selling its system kitchens and opening a showroom.
\nIn addition, we have expanded the range of our business through various \nencounters, such as the new production and sales of our original private furniture brand \u201cCoffreK\u201d. In 2021, we entered into a business alliance with Nask \nNanotechnology, Inc. to launch an antibacterial and antiviral coating business for furniture, fixtures, and equipments.
\nWe will continue to carry on our \u201cmanufactory\u201d technology and experience to the next generation and manufacture products that will make our customers happy.\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"swell_btn_cv_data":"","_locale":"en_US","_original_post":"https:\/\/www.kobayashi-woodwork.co.jp\/wp\/?page_id=163","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1194","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry","en-US"],"yoast_head":"\nAbout Kobayashi Wood Works -
