We, the Kakubayashi Group, started selling coal in 1911.
Since then, for more than a century, we have played an important role of supplying energy, and contributed to the development of the company and the improvement of life. Meanwhile, a lot of things happened, such as sales control due to war, two times oil crisis, the collapse of the bubble economy, and amendment of LPG sales law.
However, with a motto of "honesty", we have always kept an eye on the trends of the times, have caught up with customers' needs promptly, and have responded to diversifying and advanced needs.
In the mid-1940s, we started selling coke in the industry, in the 1950s, we expanded to new LPG sales, and in the 1980s we started full-scale handling of high-pressure gas which has a lot of future potential.
Since 1997, we have focused on the field of food management (HACCP), and have been manufacturing and selling the powder dry ice maker "Fresh". As a trading company and also manufacturer, we are working to supply new energy and products that meet the needs of the times.
