What Job does

JOB Corporation (株式会社ジョブ) is a Yokohama-headquartered Japanese manufacturer of X-ray generators and portable X-ray imaging devices, founded in 1988 as a power supply specialist and operating four production and R&D sites across Japan (Shin-Yokohama headquarters/factory, Fukuura factory acquired via the February 2026 merger with R-TEC Corporation, Yamagata factory in Obanazawa for circuit board assembly, and the Shin-Osaka Research Center for photon-counting detector development). The company's product portfolio spans three end-markets: human and veterinary portable radiography (PORTA100 HF, PORTA120 HF, PORTA380 HF), industrial non-destructive testing for food foreign-object detection and electronics/PCB inspection (XP0503R0, XP0758R0, XP1005R0 industrial generators and the XM090A 5μm microfocus unit), and since 2019, security X-ray generators.

The underlying technology is built around proprietary high-frequency inverter-controlled X-ray generators with stable high-voltage DC power supplies, supported by a more recent photon-counting detector program (Xprism® / ERPCD) developed since 2013 with NEDO and Shinki Kaihatsu Zaidan grant funding, in partnership with Maruha Nichiro Corporation's Central Research Institute. Manufacturing—including X-ray tubes—is conducted entirely in Japan, and key regulatory credentials include FDA approval (October 2012), CE marking (February 2011), ISO 13485:2016, ISO 9001, and ISO 14001 certifications, providing access to regulated medical markets in the U.S. and EU.

JOB sells primarily through direct B2B channels with quote-based pricing (no public list prices), supported by active participation in international trade shows (RSNA, MEDICA, Arab Health/WHX Dubai, JASIS, European Radiology Society) and OEM/embedded supply of X-ray generators as integration components for non-destructive inspection, security, and microfocus systems. End customers include hospitals, emergency medical services, veterinary clinics, mobile veterinary services, food manufacturers, and electronics/PCB producers across Japan, the U.S., Europe, the Middle East, and Latin America. As of December 2025 the company had 95 employees and remained privately held under founder-family ownership, with leadership transitioned from founder Yamamoto Keiichiro to Yamamoto Shuichiro (Ph.D.) in December 2022.
