Greetings from the President & CEO
Dear valued customers,
Our company was founded in 1925 as a small valve manufacturing and
distribution company based in Osaka City. However, all manufacturing facility as well as the
office were destroyed due to the “Osaka Air Raid” during World War II in March 1945. After the
war, we made a fresh start as a valve distribution company, however it was a challenging
circumstance because no financial back up was received. We got lucky that many of the customers
and business partners helped us be on a growth path, and we are now operating all over Japan
with 14 offices, and 3 offices outside of Japan, supported by all our business partners.
We would like to keep serving the customers as reliable and innovative partner, and aim to
provide with best solutions including the product and services to contribute to the future
development of the society with single mind of “Creating real values”.
Sincerely yours,
Tatsuaki Hisakado
President & CEO
