Takahiro Tanimoto

Chairman of Kanpoh Steel Co., Ltd.

Steel is a superior material that builds history and paves the way to the future. As a corporate group drawn by steel, Kanpoh Steel has grown by expanding into steel distribution and processing, and as a manufacturer of steel furrings for building. In addition, we have manufacturing bases from Tohoku to Kyushu, where we contribute broadly to industries such as automobile manufacture, construction, agriculture, and household items.
From our founding to the present day, we have always valued the Japanese spirit. Our business is supported by the three pillars of steel manufacturers, trading companies, and customers. We believe it remains important to support the links between these three pillars, and to create deep partnerships.
With the rapidly-changing market environment, we will evolve while adapting to future markets by methods that include investing in equipment and training human resources, which are the source of a company’s strength. We shall continue to support manufacturing in Japan and the rest of Asia, pursuing the possibilities of steel.
