Our company started out as a small hardware store in 1923, but—as a trading company that lacks production equipment—we believe that the power of human resources is what supports a company, so we have protected our employees in line with a philosophy of family-like management based on lifetime employment.
In addition, as an independent company that does not belong to any group, we—driven by strong conviction and pride—have continuously responded to our customers' diverse needs and have successfully maintained no-debt management since we were founded as a result.
These three principles (family-like management based on lifetime employment, being an independent company, and achieving no-debt management) are the basis of Sato Metal Trading, and one might even call them our DNA.
