KLASS Corporation

KLASS Co., Ltd. is a diversified manufacturer and solutions provider operating across four segments: Professional (interior construction equipment including automatic wallpaper pasting machines with top domestic market share, tatami manufacturing systems, and cloud-based construction management tools), Consumer (specialty tatami products, solar energy systems, and home renovation services), Industry (custom industrial machinery including secondary battery manufacturing equipment and foodservice dispensers), and New Industry (waterjet and robotics-based automation systems via subsidiary ROSECC). The company's core competitive strength lies in seven proprietary automation technologies—sewing, cutting, measuring, coating, peeling, folding, and measurement—developed through decades of mechanizing traditional craftwork.
