About KMEW

KMEW is Japan's only specialized manufacturer of exterior products with a full lineup of roofing materials, siding materials, and rain gutters.

In December 2003, Kubota Matsushitadenko Exterior Works Ltd. was established via a merger of Kubota Corporation and the housing exterior construction materials department of Matsushita Electric Works, Ltd. (currently Panasonic Corporation). The new company worked on a mission to deliver total solutions of exterior construction materials.

To further expand and develop its business operations, the company made a fresh start in October 2010 as KMEW Co., Ltd. by embracing KMEW, our well-accepted brand name, in the corporate name.
