MESSAGE

The global business environment is undergoing unprecedented changes, including industry structural reforms toward carbon neutrality, dramatic advances in IT technologies such as AI and IoT, and the further acceleration of work style reforms following the Covid-19.
Under such circumstances, we, Tokyo Boeki Materials Ltd., will evolve our business to be more aggressive, diverse, and global, while inheriting our “origin business” of steel-related business since the foundation of Tokyo Boeki. As a “comprehensive materials provider for the steel industry,” we will implement the following four measures to maximize the value we deliver to our customers.

1. Increase in the number of products handled
In addition to its mainstay steel, materials, and digital solutions businesses, Tokyo Boeki Materials has begun developing and procuring new commercial materials to augment our service lineup.
In 2023, we acquired all outstanding shares of Japan Advanced Roll Co., Ltd. and welcomed it as a group company, adding roll products to our product lineup. By maximizing the strengths of both companies, we will expand and develop the roll business to become number one in Japan and eventually in the world.

2. Expand business partners
The steel industry in Japan is facing a variety of challenges, such as conversion to electric furnaces for decarbonization and productivity improvement through DX promotion. By introducing unique digital solutions to solve these challenges together, we will expand our proposal opportunities to new customers as well as existing customers.

3. Expand overseas offices
In addition to the Chinese market, which is our strength, we will take on the challenge of launching new businesses overseas while strengthening sales in India, Indonesia, and Vietnam.

4. Strengthen human resource capabilities
It goes without saying that “people are the greatest asset” for a trading company. In addition to strengthening recruitment, we will enhance various HR development opportunities, such as position-based training, language training, and qualification acquisition support programs.

“If you call on Tokyo Boeki Materials Ltd., they will provide you with the materials you need and work with you to solve any problems you may have at your manufacturing site.” We hope to be such a company. While making full use of the comprehensive strengths of the Tokyo Boeki Group, each one of us will continue to fully accompany our customers of our ability, keeping in mind our Core Value, “the spirit of management participated by all”.
We are determined to contribute to the development of the steel industry and society.
We look forward to your continued support.
