Profile

[Company strength]
We have been refining the following four functions in pursuit of "quick delivery of small lots of a wide variety of items" since our inception with wholesaling of stainless steel, titanium, and high-performance materials as our main business.　
[1. Inventory function] Abundant in-house inventory 
[2. Cutting function] Placing highly-efficient cutting facilities in three factories in Osaka and Shiga 
[3. Delivery function] Smooth  and quick delivery with our 20-region proprietary distribution network 
[4. Management function] Individual management of all products utilizing ICT. Business Continuity Plan. 
These four functions were certified by an external agency in December 2013 (AS9120). About 2000 customer companies have recognized the benefit of these four functions.

[Business description]
We have been supported by  approximately 2000 customer companies for over half a century. We have strengthened "the handling of small lots of a wide variety of items  with quick delivery" particularly in sales of fixed-length and cut-off products of stainless, titanium, and other high-performance materials. Currently, the range of products that we can provide also includes processed items. We established the Shiga factory to strengthen our ability to provide quick delivery of small lots of a wide variety of items. At the Shiga factory, we have laid out the framework providing improved convenience to our customers engaged in manufacturing water jet cut items, 16t × 6100 mm shearing,  straightening, etc. In the future  we will strive to strengthen our ability to respond to the needs of our customers.

Sales of steel (stainless, titanium, high-performance materials, etc.)

[Strength of products/technologies]
We are confident in the quick delivery of small lots of a wide variety of items of stainless steel  titanium, and other high-performance materials. To that end, we have various cutting facilities and processing subcontractors. We have  proposed water-jet cutting for example as a solution for the problems of thick plate cutting. Water-jet cutting can make the following points possible: 
1. Reduction of the thermal effects of cutting units; 
2. Precise thick plate cutting; 
3. Complex shape cutting using 2.5 dimensional cutting (up to 45 degree tilting); 
4 .Quick delivery using twin nozzle machines; and 
5. Large base material (3 100 × 7 000 mm). 
Thus, we can cope with various ways of cutting different materials.

[Representative's message]
We have pursued small lots of a wide variety of items with quick delivery for over half a century. We put our corporate philosophy of "co-creation and mutual-prosperity" at the center. All the employees have been working hard to respond to the needs of the customers and have provided products that did not exist before. We have strengthened our internal system including building new facilities in the Shiga factory, getting AS9120 certification and research and development. What drives those functions is people. All employees are striving for self improvement. Each person will become a strong partner for our customers when starting new co-creation together, building a new system from scratch.
