Message from the President

- [Philosophy]
-
Our company values trust and harmony,
founded on sincerity as our core principle.
We strive for continuous innovation and development,
aiming to advance our business and expand our commercial reach,
thereby contributing to the progress of society. - [Purpose]
- Supporting the manufacturing industry with knowledge and technological expertise to create a sustainable society.
Since our founding in 1943, we have spent over 80 years operating as a specialized trading company engaged in the domestic and international sales of industrial machinery, industrial measuring instruments, and analytical equipment. In addition to acting as an authorized distributor for Yokogawa Electric Corporation, we handle a wide range of essential equipment and devices that support the manufacturing industry—such as imported analytical systems critical for semiconductor production and sheet shutters that help improve workplace environments.
Within the company, we have cultivated an open and vibrant corporate culture that respects employee opinions and transcends the traditional boundaries of a trading firm. Our commitment to employee well-being is reflected in initiatives such as company-wide trips for anniversary events. At the same time, we work to strengthen our technical capabilities and enhance after-sales service by dispatching employees to domestic and international manufacturers and reinforcing our nationwide service infrastructure. As a result, we have earned a strong reputation as a trading company with advanced technical expertise.
We believe that the role of a trading company goes beyond simply acting as a middleman for goods. We see ourselves as a “bridge” that connects people with people, technology with people, and manufacturers with people. By sourcing necessary technologies and products from around the world—and at times encouraging manufacturers to develop new solutions—we aim to help realize a society where nothing is lacking.
As a technology-focused trading company, we will continue to create new value and provide optimal total solutions in pursuit of our purpose: “to support the manufacturing industry with knowledge and technological expertise, and to create a sustainable society.” Looking ahead to the next 100 years, we will continue to grow together with our customers.
