Company Profile

BE THE BEST SOLUTION
PARTNER FOR STEEL

Your best possible partner for steel sheet solutions

 

Message from the President

We’re dedicated to meeting a broad range of needs with fine-grained service.

Since our founding in 1963, we have worked earnestly to improve our technological capabilities and strengthen our production structures so that we can achieve steady growth while meeting the needs of as many customers as possible.
We’re deeply grateful for the support and understanding of our customers, which have made this process possible.
 
Building on the steel sheet business that is the company’s foundation, we’ve developed products for the building materials market in an effort to provide offerings with higher added value.
Furthermore, we’ve focused on developing a foreign trade business with trading company functions that take advantage of our steel sheet knowledge and expertise.
Going forward, we will draw on these three core businesses as we seek to aggressively meet a diverse array of needs as a company with far-reaching capabilities that touch every area of steel.
 
We look forward to your continued support as we actively pursue new operations that align with the needs of our times, for example environmental businesses,
so that we may become a company that suits the 21st century, which many believe will be the century of the environment.
