Message from the President
130 Years in Business, and towards a New Step Forward
Company founder, Hisajiro Hashimoto, started out in the iron business and built a foundation as a plumbing equipment dealer.
Our second-generation leader, Seijiro Hashimoto, began as a manufacturer and wholesaler, selling products by catalog and manufacturing the Company’s own products. Our third-generation leader, the current chairman, expanded our business as a distributor for manufacturers.
Since assuming the duties of president, I have been striving to realize customer satisfaction, forge close ties with local communities and utilize systems under the theme of being the best partner.
In addition, I believe that there are some things in a company that should not be changed.
That is the aspiration and spirit of our employees: honesty, kindness, enthusiasm, and gratitude as well as continually maintaining a feeling of appreciation.
With the same spirit, we will continue to grow and evolve in order to improve the quality of our company as the best partner by doing business in response to the trends of the times.

President and Representative Director
In an Age of Diverse Risks
Globally, a world characterized by polarization and conflict has become increasingly clear, as evidenced by the US-China confrontation and the East-West divide. Additionally, with international cooperation being shaken, various risks are emerging that include an inflationary trend arising from employment-related issues and energy supply problems triggered by the war in Ukraine.
In Japan as well, the current age that requires constant responses to risk is expected to continue as the number of new COVID-19 infections continually fluctuates while political instability and low economic growth persist.
Turning Risk into Opportunity through Risk Management
We are now in an age when various changes and risks are expected. Precisely for this reason, I believe opportunities can be created amid crises by anticipating and managing these risks.
We will turn risk into opportunities by continuously anticipating these risks and striving to seize accurate information and respond appropriately as well as by facing this risk with strong conviction and resolve in executing risk management.
