Message from the Representatives
- President
- Yoichi Nakagawa
We have consistently responded to market changes with flexible thinking and action as an independent trading company, continuing to new challenges. Since our founding, we have adhered to the principle of being “distribution specialist,” leveraging our high level of expertise and extensive global network to meet diverse needs across a wide range of industries, with steel at the core.
Under the Medium-Term Business Plan 2028, “Go Beyond”, launched in fiscal 2026, we will shift to a more proactive growth strategy, building on the strengthened financial foundation and risk management framework established during the previous medium-term plan period.
Leveraging our core strength in supply chain creation, we will strengthen businesses in areas that both enhance user value and address societal needs, while expanding initiatives that solve challenges faced by users and society.
Overseas, under the slogan under our role “Build a business platform in Europe and the America” we will accelerate global growth by strengthening our business platform in Europe and North America and advancing localization in those markets.
We will celebrate our 80th anniversary in fiscal 2027.
Guided by our Mission, “Connecting all wants and needs. For users, with users,” and driven by the Hanwa Spirit of “GRIP & GRIT” — Seize and see it through, we will continue striving to enhance our corporate value as we look ahead to our 90th and 100th anniversaries.
We sincerely appreciate your continued trust and support, and we look forward to sharing the next chapter of Hanwa’s growth with you.
I hope that you will have high hopes for the future of Hanwa and kindly ask for your continued support.
