The "Meiji Maru", Japan’s first steam-driven vessel made from steel is the symbol of our company, which was received in the UK by Albert Richard Brown who played a key role to bring it to Japan.

Having "adventurer spirit" in mind, "Think Quality and Create Value".

Albert Richard Brown, who was born in Britain in the 19th century and the roots of our company, made a significant contribution to Japan’s modernization in the Meiji Era based on a request from the Meiji Government. We are proud of his achievements, and we keep his positive “Can-Do Spirit”.

Trading activities to deliver cutting-edged solutions

Think Quality & Create Value
Quantity is finite while quality is infinite. If homogeneous, we try to lift higher levels of quality. If heterogeneous, we pursue possibilities in diversity.
Our mission is to contribute to the progress of society by providing our customers with new values discovered through the pursuit of quality helping them create new values.
