Greeting
We were established in Octoober 1945, as a distributor of kitchen utensils and hand tools. Our city, Sakai, is well known as a place of leading producer of Japanese hardware or hand tools.
Late ’50s, not only hand tools, by becoming a business partner of Makita, we marketed power tools early days before other distributors.
