Founded in 1910, Kanematsu USA Inc. is a subsidiary of the Kanematsu Corporation, one of the oldest trading companies, founded in 1889 in Japan. The Kanematsu's network of companies is now comprised of offices in over 50 cities with worldwide sales nearly $10 billion. Although Kanematsu USA Inc. has been an American company for longer than many of the most famous of U.S. businesses, we have grown along with our affiliates around the world to become a diversified member of the global business community. Our major business areas include electronics, steel & metals, food products, chemicals, textiles and aerospace. In this era of borderless economies and uncertain business environments, Kanematsu USA reflects a new spirit of global coordination and strategic planning. For American companies to be truly competitive, they must have instant access to information from all over the world and the know-how to use that information to their advantage. Upon entering the 21st century, the U.S. economy has become increasingly more integrated with the world economy than ever before and the ability of American business to be anywhere and everywhere in the world is increasingly becoming the key to their continued success. Developing the right business strategy with a carefully selected partner means the difference between that success and mere survival. Companies wishing to thrive must maximize every opportunity available to them. They must establish strong relationships with experts like Kanematsu USA Inc. that: • Have mastered the techniques of developing international business. • Can recognize opportunities and manage risks. • Can market new high technology products. • Can assist in rapidly opening major distribution channels. • Can support promising new ventures.
