About us
"WE WANT TO BE THE BEST RATHER THAN THE BIGGEST"
Canycom was founded in 1955 as a manufacturer of agricultural tools. With roots in a family tradition of swordsmithing (Yamato Tegaki), the company began by producing grass sickles, cultivators for rice fields, and steel-plate trailers for agricultural use.
In the late 1960s, Canycom shifted its focus to the production of rubber track carriers. Since then, the company has expanded its product range across agriculture, forestry, brush mowing, and construction. Today, Canycom operates globally, with more than half of its sales generated outside Japan.
In 2025, Canycom celebrated its 70th anniversary.
As part of its long-term vision, Vision 300, the company set three major goals. One of these—achieving annual sales of 10 billion yen—was accomplished in 2023. Canycom is currently working toward the remaining two goals: conducting business in 100 countries worldwide and becoming a company that endures for 100 years.
However, growth in size alone has never been our objective.
We aim to grow globally by becoming the best partner for our customers, not the biggest company. To achieve this, we place great importance on maintaining clear values and staying true to our direction.
By listening carefully to each customer and thoroughly considering solutions tailored to their specific challenges, we have continued to develop distinctive products. As a result, many of Canycom's products have been recognized as “world firsts.” They are also characterized by uniquely colorful and playful designs, combining functionality with a sense of fun.
Through these efforts, the Canycom brand has become globally recognized for its distinctive blend of practicality and enjoyment.
Where Craft Meets Proof
Canycom is engaged in the integrated, in-house production of most of its products and components, covering every stage from design and manufacturing to sales. In August 2021, a new manufacturing plant began operations, equipped with cutting-edge press processing machines and welding robots in pursuit of higher-quality manufacturing.
In addition, in November 2025, Canycom opened a dedicated product testing facility adjacent to the new plant. As our user base continues to expand worldwide, this testing ground has been designed to simulate a wide range of demanding real-world conditions. By rigorously validating performance in environments that reflect global usage, the facility supports not only high quality, but also the realization of truly world-standard manufacturing.
Manufacturing is Art.
We build for challenges that matter.
While many companies design products for broad market segments, Canycom takes pride in designing its products for individual customers.
Our sales people travel widely to meet users in the field, speaking with them directly and carefully observing how they work—sometimes accompanied by members of our product development team. Video footage of these on-site interactions is sent back to our head office in Japan, where it is shared with top management as unfiltered, first-hand customer feedback.
We face these voices with sincerity and continue to take on challenges that do not yield easy answers, approaching them with persistence and determination. This is the mindset that defines Canycom's approach to manufacturing.
Our role is to transform this feedback into products that embody our customers' ideals. While technologies and design methods evolve over time, our commitment to identifying the essential challenges remains unchanged—a principle that has guided us since our founding.
Our Customers Are in the Driving Seat
Canycom began exporting in the mid-1980s and now sells its products in 56 countries worldwide (as of January 2026).
Whether home gardeners in Japan, grape growers in Italy, or construction workers in the United States, our customers may differ in country and profession, but they all share one thing in common: a passion for performing their work at the highest possible level.
Canycom is committed to supporting our customers in their pursuit of excellence.
“Caring deeply about our customers and feeling a responsibility to support them” is one part of our corporate philosophy that we strive to put into practice every single day.
Origin of the Company Name CANYCOM
The name CANYCOM is derived from the seven letters of the phrase “CAN CARRY ANY COMMUNICATION.”
It expresses our belief in being a customer-oriented organization and team of people that creates and delivers new value through unique technological capabilities and networks.
