The hook decides how your machine sews

Koban makes the rotary hooks, shuttle hooks and bobbin cases that sit inside industrial sewing machines. Al Borj supplies genuine Koban parts across the UAE, GCC and Africa.

A worn hook, or a copy part, causes skipped stitches, thread breaks and lost hours. Genuine Koban parts keep the stitch clean and the line running.

§ About Koban

A parts brand the sewing industry has relied on for decades

Koban is made by Sabun Industrial in Japan

Koban is the sewing machine parts brand of Sabun Industrial Co., Ltd., based in Niigata, Japan. The company makes rotary hooks, shuttle hooks and bobbin cases, the parts that decide how well a sewing machine performs. Sabun Industrial states more than 60 years of work in the sewing industry.

Why the right part matters on a production line

A rotary hook turns at high speed for a full shift, every shift. When it wears, or when a copy part is fitted, you see skipped stitches, thread breaks and machines standing idle. Al Borj supplies genuine Koban parts, and our team matches the correct hook to your machine model before you order.
