The association was established in 1950 as Tokyo Bakery Machinery Research Society by the voluntary members in Keihin District. In 1962, influential manufacturers throughout Japan united for a common purpose and established Japan Bakery and Confectionery Machinery Manufacturers’ Association. Then, we started as an association representing the bakery and confectionery machinery industry of Japan.
Since then, in order to cope with the demand and supply of bread and confectionery bloomed at the same time of the dawn of rich dietary life, we have worked actively on research and development of bakery and confectionery machinery. In the 72nd year since our activities started, in other words, after 60 years since the association established, the number of the membership companies has now reached 120 and steady development keeps 90% of the share in the industry, which established a strong position in the industry.
In the meantime, in 1971, aiming at exhibiting the research result of development of machinery by the members as well as at improving mutual technical development and cultivating the market demand, we hosted a show dedicated to bakery and confectionery machinery.

The show named as Machinery Of Bakery And Confectionery (MOBAC) has been continuously held alternately at Tokyo and Osaka and the next MOBAC to be held at Osaka in 2025 will reach the 29th show.
The MOBAC Show has now come to receive high evaluation from both domestic and overseas markets as an international exposition of bakery and confectionery-related industry that shows the latest technical level and a trend in development of machinery.
In 1995, for further activation of the associate activities and promotion of a modern image, the name of the association was changed to Japan Bakery and Confectionery Machinery Manufacturers’ Association, and we have been striving to further development and betterment of the association through interchange and collaboration with respective related industries, our users, surrounding the bakery and confectionery industries.
In the new century, borderless business transaction in both domestic and overseas markets tends to make further progress. In such circumstances, we, as JBCM internationally recognized, will take proactive action to meet the needs of the people involved in this industry.
