Brief Description:

    With a rich history approaching a century, ISEKI & Co., Ltd. was founded in August 1926 as the “Iseki Farm Implement Trading Co.” in Matsuyama-shi, Ehime-ken, Japan. The company was formally incorporated in April 1936, at which point it commenced the production of ISEKI rice hullers and automatic rice graders. Following the construction of new plants in Yashiro-machi (1946) and Kumamoto (1949), the company's shares were listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange in June 1961, setting the stage for significant growth. A pivotal moment in agricultural mechanization came in March 1967 when ISEKI started the production of rice transplanters, combine harvesters, and binders, successfully creating a mechanized, integrated system for rice cultivation that combined these machines with their tractors. This era of growth saw the Tokyo Branch being renamed "Tokyo Headquarters" in 1969 and the beginning of its international expansion with the establishment of N.V. ISEKI Europe S.A. in Brussels in 1971.

    The company continued to expand and evolve its structure throughout the following decades. The head office was relocated to an expanded Matsuyama plant in 1972, and the Engineering Department was moved to Tobe-cho in 1982. In 2001, the Matsuyama and Kumamoto plants were separated into affiliated manufacturing companies. The early 2000s marked a significant push into Asia, with the establishment of Iseki–Changzhou Mfg. Co., Ltd. in Jiangsu, China, in 2003, followed by Dongfeng Iseki Agricultural Machinery (Hubei) Co., Ltd. in 2011, and the establishment of a presence in Indonesia in 2012. A key strategic acquisition occurred in July 2014 when ISEKI acquired ownership of the French company Yvan Beal S.A.S., which was subsequently renamed ISEKI France S.A.S in 2015.

    In recent years, ISEKI has focused on strengthening its global training, research, and distribution capabilities. This includes the establishment of the ISEKI Technical Training Center (ITTC) in 2013, the Dream Agricultural Research Institute in 2015, and the ISEKI Global Training Center in 2017. International expansion has continued with the establishment of subsidiaries and the acquisition of distributors in Thailand (2013, 2016, 2020) and Germany (2022). A significant manufacturing consolidation took place in July 2024, when the Iseki-Kumamoto and Iseki-Matsuyama manufacturing companies were incorporated to establish the new ISEKI M&D Co., Ltd., streamlining their production capabilities for the future.
