WHAT’S “Willbe”?
Willbe was born on March 29, 2024,
as a comprehensive power manufacturer consisting of
the general-purpose engine brand MEiKi POWER and the lifeline brand Earth POWER.
The story dates back to the 1940s in Japan.
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Meiki Engines,
the predecessor of Willbe, began manufacturing engines in 1946 at the Nagoya Machinery Works.
The abbreviation of the factory, Meiki, is also the root of the brand name MEiKi POWER.
Since then, with the pride of being “Made in Japan,”
the company has continued to produce high-quality general-purpose engines
used in agricultural and construction machinery so on.
This tradition has been inherited to MEiKi POWER,
which focuses on products that support works.
A little later, in 1955, Yamaha Motor was born,
applying musical instrument manufacturing technologies
to motorcycle manufacturing.
The company’s stubborn commitment to manufacturing
was passed on to its group company called Yamaha Motor Power Products,
which eventually transformed into general-purpose engines, generators, snowblowers and other products,
and they have run through the high-growth period.
These have been carried over to Earth POWER, which focuses on products that support people’s daily lives.
MITSUBISHI and YAMAHA.
Two of the leading power brands representing Japan
have come together in the 2020s after overcoming turbulent times.
A fusion of traditional craftsmanship,
innovative technology, and the uncompromising attitude toward quality
result in high-quality products with precision and excellent durability.
The unwavering commitment to craftsmanship shared by these two brands
eventually became the pride of “Made in Japan” and laid the foundation of Willbe.
The company name “Willbe” represents our determination to move towards the future.
Under the brand slogan “Power Your Future”,
Willbe will move the future forward, carrying people’s dreams and hopes.
