Our Identity
Our Identity
To fully support the weight of the world.
Support the passions that carry the world forward.
Answer Every Need
We do not leave any work undone. We will fulfill our promise to meet every need, because our work is the foundation for our society.
Build Trust
It takes a lifetime to build trust, but only takes a moment to lose it all. The 80 years of trust from our customers is our greatest asset, and we will continue to build on their trust.
Customer First
We listen carefully to our customer’s needs and respond by first asking ourselves “how can we accomplish it?” then find solutions that exceed our customers’ expectations.
Unchanging Spirit of "Customer First" Since Our Founding, and the Pursuit of Added Value Beyond
Shitaya Kinzoku was founded in 1941 in the Shitaya area of Tokyo (present-day Ueno) by my grandfather, Shigeji Takauji. Following World War II, the company began handling wire ropes, which were indispensable for rebuilding social infrastructure, and quickly established a nationwide sales network. Over our 80-year history, the most important principle we have upheld is the "Customer First" philosophy. This belief has become deeply ingrained as the core "spirit" of Shitaya Kinzoku. I see it as my mission to carry on this spirit and to pursue the creation of "added value" beyond it. Moving forward, we will continue to deliver "trust and satisfaction" to all our customers. United as one team, all employees will sincerely and proactively address the challenges faced by our customers.
