Comet Kato was founded in 1920 in Nagoya as a manufacturer of coal-fueled cooking stoves.
Since then, we have continued to grow as a specialized manufacturer of commercial heating and cooking equipment for over 100 years.
Over time, cooking heat sources have shifted from coal to gas and electricity, and in recent years, there has been a rapid increase in demand for automation and digitalization.
As a company supporting the world of food, we are committed to safety, durability, and ease of use, and we continually strive to improve quality and advance technological innovation.
Looking ahead, Comet Kato will continue to honor the history and trust we have built, adapt flexibly to changing times, and create new value through innovative technologies.
