01 / Overview
Read the company as a system.
Kubota began as a foundry in Osaka and later expanded into water infrastructure, engines, agricultural machinery, construction equipment, and environmental systems. World Farm Tech concentrates on the agricultural machinery and information layer while retaining the wider corporate context.
The agricultural business spans tractors, combines, rice transplanters, implements, engines, and digital or smart-agriculture initiatives. Public lineups differ substantially by region because farm structure, crops, field conditions, regulations, and distribution networks differ.
02 / Brands
The identities users meet in the market.
Brand records sit between the parent company and individual product series. They preserve ownership context while allowing regional portfolios to be documented separately.
