Iseki 100 years in agriculture
“I want to free farmers from exhausting labor”, Kunisaburo Iseki passionately proclaimed when he founded his company. This was an aspiration which arose from his experience in agriculture, his family’s business. With this in mind, in 1926 he established “Iseki Farm Implement Trading Co.” in Matsuyama City, Ehime Prefecture in Japan, and began selling fully-automated rice hullers. This marked the start of Iseki Group’s history. The passion of the founder is what the company inherited, and still exists today as Iseki’s DNA.
