See below for a brief overview of Onoken's business
model, our strengths, and our operations in figures.

01What is Onoken?

Onoken is a trading company specializing in steel as well as construction materials with a top share in the steel distribution industry.

Established in 1949 for selling cement, ironware, and construction materials, Onoken began full-scale sales of steel products around 1957 in response to rising demand. We have grown over the years as a trading company that is not afraid to go beyond industry convention, and we were the first in our field to import steel products into Japan. One of our greatest strengths is our ability to coordinate between manufacturers and customers by leveraging our nationwide network of distribution centers to deliver steel and construction materials throughout Japan in the shortest possible time.
