About KOBO USA
KOBO USA, LLC is the US location of the Kobo Group, which has been manufacturing chains and sprockets since 1894. The product portfolio includes roller chains (high-performance A and B series, maintenance-free and standard versions), engineered chains such as reclaimer chains, bucket elevator chains, plate chains and trough chains, as well as special chains and custom components to technical specifications. Production takes place in plants in Germany, Poland and China; the manufacturing technologies include CNC machining, stamping technology, laser cutting of sheet thicknesses over 25 mm, heat treatment and coating, as well as hydraulic assembly and final inspection. Materials are predominantly steel and stainless steel. Customers come from industries such as steel and bulk materials, automotive, intralogistics (cooperation with faigle), wood and biomass, water treatment, as well as escalator and plant engineering.
