Inoue kougu Co.,Ltd.

Message from the Chairman

Inouekougu began when, leveraging my experience working as a painter on construction sites, I took the ideas for tools that I thought would make my work more efficient and gave them form. Since our foundation in 1966, we have gathered advice and opinions from many people who have gone before us and other colleagues, and continued to come up with instruments that are even easier to use, products that improve work efficiency, and tools that are safer. We have taken those ideas and actually proposed them, turning them into commercial products.

We have an extensive range of original items that we have developed and obtained patent, utility model, and design registrations for. Today, we offer many different products, from professional tools to items for general DIY and daily use. We will continue to respond to users’ needs, strive to develop products that incorporate ease of use, and offer products of excellence.

We will continue in our efforts to contribute to the further growth and prosperity of the industry.
