Having done business in the dynamic Middle East region for decades, the company continues to strengthen its regional partnerships.
From its regional hub in Dubai, the company began operating as a division of Kobe Steel, eventually establishing Kobelco Construction Machinery Middle East and Africa in 2016.
“We have fostered excellent relations with our business partners across the Gulf Cooperation Council countries of Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates,” said KCMMEA Managing Director Kentaro Nezaki.
“The UAE and Saudi Arabia are home to our largest customer bases. We deliver crawler cranes, crawler excavators, spare parts and also provide after-market services.”
Through Kobelco Construction Machinery Co., our parent company, and our group company, Shinsho Corp., our vision is to promote sustainable growth, deliver exceptional customer satisfaction and promote Kobelco’s products, services and solutions to the region.

The UAE has planned large oil and gas-related projects, and Saudi Arabia is continuing its diversification journey from oil and gas and inspiring new ways of living and working.
“Through Kobelco Construction Machinery Co., our parent company, and our group company, Shinsho Corp., our vision is to promote sustainable growth, deliver exceptional customer satisfaction and promote Kobelco’s products, services and solutions to the region,” Nezaki said.
Kobe Steel Group is recognized as a world-leading manufacturer of reciprocating, screw and centrifugal compressors, with the company manufacturing its first high-pressure reciprocating compressor in Japan in 1915.
Kobelco Machinery Middle East was founded in Dubai in 2012 and has established strong ties with end-users.
“We have developed our business in line with oil and gas field projects in the UAE and the Middle East,” said KMME General Manager Takuya Kadosaka.
Kobelco is contributing to the development of new energy sources to push carbon neutrality across the energy industry. The company’s compressors, heat exchangers and vaporizers also play an important role in achieving society’s carbon-neutrality targets.
Kobelco compressors can handle hydrogen, ammonia and carbon dioxide, and our reliable technology and wealth of experience enable us to support modern industrial developments and deliver compressors which boost productivity and contribute to (reaching) carbon-neutrality targets.
