President's Message
Thank you for accessing Sanko Shoji’s website.
Since our foundation in 1952, we have been an independent steel trader not belonging to any corporate group that mainly deals with tinplate and surface-treated steel sheets as well as wide variety of steel sheet products. We have a network of distribution centers, coil centers and other processing facilities covering east and west Japan that enables us to quickly respond to today’s needs such as high-variety low-volume production, high quality, and quick delivery.
With the current trend of shrinking domestic market, mergers and abolitions among steel makers, traders and distributors are becoming unavoidable. To survive as one of the few independent steel distributors, I believe we have to build a distinctive position to better serve customers’ needs. We therefore will strive to improve our processing technique, quality control system, and high-variety low-volume production system, and deepen our relationship with customers through our wide-ranging procurement routes and superior services, leveraging our advantages as an independent company.
Building on our healthy management, we will constantly and sincerely listen to customers and flexibly respond to the diversification of market needs and changes in business environment, while also working on global environmental problems and enforcing our compliance system. We would greatly appreciate your continued support.
Arihiro Takeda, President and Representative Director
