Company philosophy

Introduction

AIBA Corporation was established in 1861 and celebrated the 150th anniversary in 2011.
This would never have been possible without the continuous support of all our customers.

Our company was established as a metal wholesaler in the late Edo Period. During the Meiji Period (1868-1912), we started to handle steel material. Then, we began to sell Yasugi cutlery steel as a distributing agent for Hitachi Metals, Ltd. Yasugi Works during the Taisho Period (1912-1926).
After establishing a cutlery factory in the early Showa Period (1926-1989), we began to engage in manufacturing and sales of blades and knives.

In 1994, the Specialty Steel Center was constructed at the current address of our company.
The major business segments of our company are sales of special steel, including special steel made by Hitachi Metals, Ltd. Yasugi Works, processed products, high-grade cutlery steel, large processed products and processed plates.

We have received long-term support from both domestic and foreign customers in the promotion of traditional high-grade cutlery steel.
We provide our customers with special steel products manufactured by using the advanced technology, ‘Near Net Shape’.

We will strive to make contributions to the social development continuously through fair business practices.
We would like to express our deepest appreciation to all our customers for their continuous support.
