Trust and a track record spanning 50 years
We have been gradually building up trust and a track record as a steel trading company for 50 years since our establishment in 1976.
This was just when China Steel Corporation (CSC), the only steel (blast furnace) manufacturer in Taiwan, started exporting their products to Japan following its establishment in 1971. The company is now our largest supplier.
As Japanese industry expands around the world, we, together with CSC, have continually pursued high quality in order to meet the various needs of our customers. This has enabled us to manufacture and sell the highest grade steel products in the world.
Through these daily efforts, we have earned the trust of both manufacturers and customers and played a role in establishing imported products in the Japanese market.
Competence
(Competence to offer solutions)
Steel is needed in a wide range of fields, including construction materials, automobiles, electrical products and industrial machines. Our customers’ needs are just as diverse. To meet these diverse needs, we offer optimal steel products for our customers.
(Technical competence)
World leading Japanese companies with cutting-edge technologies often request a higher quality of material that cannot always be met with our existing product lineup. In such cases, we ascertain the needs of the customer, discuss technical matters with overseas steel manufacturers, and offer high-quality steel materials that meet the customer’s needs.
(Competence to ensure effective operations using computerized systems)
We obtain production data online from China Steel Corporation (CSC, Taiwan) to provide customers with timely notification of the production status. In addition, we have established our own internal control system that can improve and streamline operations while promoteing effective management with only a small number of staff.
Message
Message from the President
Since our establishment, as a pioneer in the trading of steel materials, we have been striving to consistantly supply high-quality overseas products to customers at low prices.
The Japanese market, which demands high-quality and attentive service, is unique in today’s increasingly internationalized steel market.
By ensuring seamless direct transactions with overseas steel manufacturers while leveraging the know-how we have cultivated to date, we hope to serve as a trustworthy intermediary between customers and manufacturers in all aspects, including prices, quantity, delivery times, and quality.
Steel has always been a familiar and indispensable presence in our lives.
Driven by our passion for steel, we will continue to strive relentlessly to contribute to our customers and society.
We are grateful for your continued support.
