We consider quality, delivery, and costs to provide consistent proposals covering everything from the material quality and materials (mainly non-ferrous metals) to the manufacturing method and delivery.

Material Quality and Material Proposals

In response to the concerns of our customers at the component-development stage, including the physical properties and characteristics of metals, we select the optimal material quality and materials and propose them through cooperation between our base metal and material procurement department (the base of Sato Metal Trading) and base metal and material manufactures (the suppliers).

Processing Method Proposals

Based on Sato Metal Trading's delivery results in various industrial fields, we propose the manufacturing method suitable for each customer's material quality and materials, which are selected based on the size, shape, dimensions, accuracy, and other characteristics of the customer's products.

Product Realization Proposals

We select material manufacturers based on the material quality by fully utilizing Sato Metal Trading's network, and then we propose parts manufacturers selected from among our cooperating companies.
Sato Metal Trading has results in various industries in terms of selling and distributing non-ferrous base metals, materials, and processed products, and this enables us to view the situation from the same perspective as our customers and pursue comprehensive proposal-based selling.

Sato Metal Trading's Network

Sato Metal Trading has 12 offices in Japan and six offices overseas, which enables us to make proposals not only in relation to distribution but also in relation to procurement by all of our offices in collaboration with local cooperative companies.
Sato Metal Trading has a unique network that enables us to provide optimal proposals regarding the specific requirements and concerns of our customers.

Connections Quality Assurance

At our company—where our top management has set forth a policy of emphasizing quality—we recognized the importance of managing the supply chain as a trading company early on, and we obtained ISO 9001 certification for all of our domestic offices in 2001. We utilize ISO as a tool to achieve customer satisfaction, and we conduct daily activities to increase the quality of the overall Sato Metal Trading Group and to try to achieve higher quality with our cooperative companies. We strive to eliminate the gap between the quality demanded by our customers and the quality built in by suppliers, and we pursue Connections quality assurance to further improve customer satisfaction.
