Kanto Agricultural Machinery Co., Ltd.

In 1970, during the Osaka Expo, the entire nation was excited. Together with Kanto Machinery Center, we focused on the transportation of vegetables and fish within the central wholesale market and developed the industry’s first DC1000 walking-type transport vehicle for the Kanda Market. We named it "Maitaker" from the word "mighty," meaning "strong." From the beginning, our company consistently handled development and production, while Kanto Machinery Center focused on sales, establishing this model. In particular, the current director and honorary consultant, Jūzō Inaba, worked tirelessly to expand this business. The Morioka plant now operates as a dedicated facility for producing the Maitaker.

In 1993, after more than 30 years of developing rotary machines, we created our first management machine and the rotary-specific machine "Poke," a combination of a rotary and a management machine. With the concept of making farmers’ work "more enjoyable and comfortable," we established compact packaging technology. This lineage now leads to familiar household garden cultivators such as Nataro.
