We are committed to creating new value by connecting Japan’s industrial specialties with the global market, and by introducing exceptional industrial specialties from around the world to Japan.
Our mission is to serve as a trusted bridge between customers and manufacturers, supported by knowledge and intelligence.
Guided by our shared values of “PETS—Passion, Expertise, Transparency, and a Straightforward approach,” and by consciously distancing ourselves from “ESG,” which on our website stands for 遠慮 (Enryo / reservation), 忖度 (Sontaku / hypothesise), and 迎合 (Geigou / opportunism), we strive to meet diverse market needs with precision and integrity, while delivering proposals of lasting value.
As the world’s most trusted specialty pipe & tube trading platformer, we will continue to pursue sustainable growth and contribute positively to society.
