Komori’s journey in security printing spans more than six decades, beginning in 1958 with a collaboration to produce domestically made banknote printing presses for Japan. Since then, the company has become one of only two manufacturers globally capable of delivering highly secure, high-precision banknote presses. Under the leadership of Chairman Yoshiharu Komori, the company expanded from Japan into global markets, achieving landmark contracts in Russia, Korea, India, Nigeria, and across Southeast Asia. Each new installation represented a blend of advanced technology, strategic persistence, and a strong commitment to after-sales support, helping Komori earn trust in one of the world’s most scrutinized printing sectors.
The company had a recent success with an order from the U.S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing for multiple Komori presses to produce U.S. dollar banknotes. Komori presses are already involved in printing over 100 different currencies, including the euro and British pound. Looking ahead, Komori sees continued growth potential not only in currency but also in high-security applications such as passport printing and digital press technologies.
As of June 18, 2025, Yoshiharu Komori's role transitioned from Director and Chairman to Director and Honorary Chariman.
