PICKUP
Leading the industry through cooperation that pushes beyond trading company boundaries
Metal One established MM & Kenzai Corporation with Mitsui & Co., Ltd. in 2014, and Metal One Sumisho Tubular Products Co., Ltd. with Sumitomo Corporation in 2019 through mergers. The idea is to take the industry lead in restructuring beyond the boundaries of trading companies. Fully utilizing the networks, capabilities and human resources each trading company possesses, they are confronting the mountain of social issues Japanese society faces and looking for solutions to such things as an aging society with fewer children, weakening social infrastructure, and carbon neutrality.
