- IBOKIN Co.,Ltd. is a Japan-based company specializing in integrated recycling services with a focus on creating a recycling-oriented society. Founded in 1984 and headquartered in Tatsuno City, Hyogo Prefecture, the company operates primarily in the dismantling and recycling sectors. Its core offerings include industrial and plant demolition services; recovery and recycling of resources from industrial waste, scrap metal, and obsolete machinery; environmental management services such as asbestos removal; metal recycling processes; transportation of recyclable materials; and manufacturing of plastic pellets. The company serves a broad customer base across Japan, including industrial clients requiring comprehensive dismantling and recycling solutions.
In the last two years, IBOKIN has expanded its business through strategic acquisitions to enhance its service and technological capabilities. Notably, it acquired Hiro Engineering, specializing in human resource services for design work; 3D Visual KK, which provides 3D scan modeling and design operations; Yazawa Co., Ltd., known for advanced asbestos removal technologies; and Oda Corporation Co., Ltd., along with its subsidiary TOKEN Co., Ltd., to broaden its maintenance and construction work services. These acquisitions indicate a strategic shift toward integrating advanced technological services and specialized environmental solutions within its recycling and demolition business segments.
IBOKIN operates through three main business segments: Metal Business, Demolition Business, and Environmental Business, with sales growth noted in recent fiscal years across these segments. The company continues to foster innovation for sustainability by promoting circular economy principles, towards which its operations from dismantling to recycling are aligned. Its geographic focus remains predominantly within Japan, supporting industrial and urban recycling needs.
This comprehensive recycling and resource recovery business, combined with recent strategic acquisitions, positions IBOKIN as a key player committed to environmental sustainability and operational excellence in Japan’s recycling industry.
