Our story goes back to around 1940, when my grandfather began work as a travelling merchant with a handcart. The company formally established in 1950.
After many years working as a subcontractor for major manufacturers, we gradually built our own sales channels to reach customers around the world.
Guided by the belief that “it is our responsibility to supply parts to ensure Japanese cars can keep running worldwide,” we have protected parts that are disappearing from the market, pooled our know-how, and remained committed to Japanese-made automotive replacement parts.
Looking ahead, we will continue to support Japanese vehicles across the globe with sincerity, actively embracing AI and new technologies, while also valuing the experience of each employee and the spirit of craftsmanship that defines our work.
