It has been nearly 100 years since the founding of the Nishimoto Trading Group.
In 1912, the first year of Japan's Taisho Period, the original Nishimoto General Store was established in the city of Kobe, Japan. The Company indeed passed through some tumultuous times to emerge where it is today. Everyone on the Nishimoto team is most grateful, particularly to our customers and business partners for their unwavering support.
Over our years in business, we have seen the role played by trading companies change. However, even in these new times, we continue to cherish our fundamental philosophy, which requires that we give top priority to the prosperity of our customers and business partners, our backbone since the start, and that we maintain our frontier spirit.

For the Satisfaction and Growth of our Customers and Business Partners
It is in times of change that a specialized trading company such as ourselves must fulfill its true role. Currently, markets and production areas are facing major environmental changes, both internally and externally, and new standards and ideals in products and services themselves are being demanded globally. These changes provide a major opportunity for our clients, and, at the same time, pose a risk.

Our goals are to provide reliable and trustworthy services, and to create and provide value that is one step ahead of the times. In realizing these aims we also hope to integrate them in a way that reflects the standpoint of our customers and business partners.

As a business, and as good global citizens, we derive our motivation from our desire to move forward through another century as a corporation that really makes a difference to people. This desire not only motivates us, but it fuels our growth, and is a source of satisfaction to the employees of the whole Nishimoto Trading Group. We thereby renew our determination to undertake what we do in the best possible faith and with a real sense of mission.
