About
Based in Tokyo, Japan, and founded in 2014, PLANTX Corp. operates as a manufacturing company that manufactures cultivation equipment for the agricultural industry. In April 2026, PLANTX raised an undisclosed amount in venture funding from Kobashi Industries.. As of 2023, the company is led by its CEO, Kosuke Yamada.
PLANTX offers, develops, and installs Culture Machine Type M, which is a closed-type plant cultivation device that utilizes independently sealed cultivation shelves, air conditioning, and a nutrient solution circulation system to create an optimal growth environment for plants that helps to maximize crop yields, minimize resource usage, and reduce the need for pesticides. The firm also offers Culture Machine Type XS, a device that is specifically designed for plant cultivation research programs. The company plans to use the funds raised in April 2026 to strengthen collaboration for automation and mass production, establish a next‑generation labor‑saving plant factory model, and accelerate R&D and market tests for high‑value crops.
