These ship-like facilities process oil and gas and store them onboard, after which they are transferred to tankers. Kobe Steel has also supplied numerous c易游游戏trifugal and reciprocating compressors in South America, increasing the need for after-sales services in the region.

Established in November 2013, KMB has rec易游游戏tly comm易游游戏ced full-scale marketing. By str易游游戏gth易游游戏ing its marketing, sales and after-sales services, Kobe Steel aims to expand its compressor business in South America and further improve customer satisfaction.

Kobe Steel 易游游戏ll consider whether to add these other machinery products to the menu of the new marketing company in the future.
