Shinsho Corporation’s history goes back to November 1946 with the founding of its precursor company Taihei Corporation. Established to handle
Kobe Steel products, Taihei was Japan’s first postwar trading company exclusively affiliated with a manufacturer. At the time, many Japanese manufacturers had lost their production facilities in World War II, and distribution functions were paralyzed. Company founders passionately believed that
trading companies exclusively affiliated with manufacturers would provide crucial support to the manufacturing sector, and strove to supply the market
with high-quality products. This spirit of high-quality manufacturing has been transmitted for more than 60 years. Today, Shinsho Corporation
remains committed to the cause of high-quality manufacturing and, in partnership with Kobe Steel and the Kobe Steel Group, pursues business
opportunities by proposing projects to client companies. In today’s quickly changing world, new demand must be discovered and developed. Never
forgetting the aspirations of our founders, Shinsho will continue to develop as a trusted corporation that contributes to the wellbeing of society.

Our Global Network Enables Us
to Lead the Way
Shinsho’s Iron & Steel Division utilizes the Kobe Steel
Group’s global network to satisfy customer requirements in
all phases of their business, from overseas start-ups to
stable product supply. We offer not only localized market
information but also the kind of technical and production
expertise that only a trading company affiliated with a
manufacturer can provide. By tapping into the vast and
varied sources of the Kobe Steel Group, we can supply the
ideal products to meet diverse customer needs.

OUR STRATEGY
Providing Support for Overseas Business
Development Right from the Start
One of Shinsho’s greatest strengths is the high value-added
“Only One” products manufactured by Kobe Steel, which are
backed by a wide array of purchasing sources through which
we can reliably supply the steel products our customers need
anywhere in the world. We are currently establishing joint
ventures in North and Central America, China and Southeast
Asia so that we can supply Japanese-owned automakers and
Accelerating Overseas Business
auto parts manufacturers operating abroad with products of
the same high quality as those bought in Japan.
One of our most important missions is to support client
companies as they set up their own business operations
abroad. We provide parts makers and other companies who
Growth While Satisfying
Japanese Domestic Demand
are looking to expand abroad with information we’ve gathered
from our own overseas operating bases as well as from other
members of the Kobe Steel Group, with whom we maintain
close ties. In this way we become a true partner in our customers’ enterprises by advising them about siting and plant
construction and providing them with information about the
purchase of equipment and furnishings.
Active Expansion into Fields and
Regions of Growth
Mexico has become a major focal point as a base for manufacturing and exporting products to North and South America.
Auto part manufacturers in particular are expected to continue
setting up Mexican operations in large numbers, and Shinsho is
ready to support them with local subsidiaries that import and
export steel products and gather information on new developments as they happen. We have also established a secondary
wire processing facility that will further expand business opportunities.
Similarly, we have opened a new factory in the suburbs of
Chennai, India that processes steel plate used to manufacture
construction machinery. Infrastructure is being built at a rapid
pace in India, and this has increased demand for construction
machinery. Our new plant will enable use to reliably supply
construction machinery manufacturers with high-quality steel
plate at a reasonable cost.
Taking advantage of technical expertise and information that
only a trading company closely affiliated with a manufacturer
can provide, we help our client companies pursue their
businesses in fields and regions that promise future growth.

We Supply the Energy
That Moves Society
The Ferrous Raw Materials Division handles a wide range of
resources needed by society and provides our customers with
business support. We supply the coal and iron ore that go into
blast furnaces and iron slag that is melted in electric furnaces. Keeping the environment in mind, we also focus on
recycling slag, waste plastic, and other materials to make
RPF (Refuse Paper and Plastic Fuel) that can be burned
instead of coal.

economic growth in Japan and throughout the world by supplying the iron ore and coal needed to operate blast furnaces, and

Slag is one of the byproducts of the steelmaking process. It
can be combined with recycled waste plastic and other materials to make RPF (Refuse Paper and Plastic Fuel) that can be

Locations Throughout the World
to Help Guide Client Businesses
maintaining close ties with purchasing departments within Kobe
Steel’s Iron & Steel Business as well as iron and steel manufacturing departments, we often visit production sites to get a
first-hand view of what is needed. Seeking out materials that are
ideally suited to our clients, we ensure them a stable supply
through appropriate, fine-tuned service that earns their trust.
Meeting Customer Needs While
Expanding Markets and Operations
Although the Ferrous Raw Materials Division has grown alongside Japanese steelmakers, the market has changed dramatically in recent years. Japanese manufacturers are increasingly
shifting their production facilities abroad, and new steelmakers
are starting up overseas, further increasing the scale of the
industry. To meet customer needs, Shinsho must serve the
international market. Therefore, the Ferrous Raw Materials
Division is expanding its bases of operation in such locations as
Australia, the U.S., China and Singapore to accommodate
localized demand, while building systems to ensure our customers have a stable supply. As part of that effort, we work closely
with our clients and are building our own raw material processing facilities.
By expanding our own operations, we create demand and
provide a reliable supply of materials. Adopting a long-term
perspective that looks five to ten years ahead, we provide the
support our customers need to expand their business by
analyzing market trends using massive amounts of high-quality
information.

Investment in the Moranbah North Coal Mine in Australia
Coal is an indispensable material for the production of iron and steel, which is a
mainstay of Japan. In 1996, the Ferrous Raw Materials Division became a joint
venture partner in the Moranbah North Coal Mine Project in Australia, from which
it provides a steady supply of coking coal to Japan and other major steel producing countries throughout the world. While accurately grasping the raw material
needs of Kobe Steel and working in partnership with that company, the Division
will continue to seek out other investment opportunities in the field of ferrous raw
materials.

Further Expansion of Environmental Business Aimed
at Realizing a Recycling Society
We are expanding our environmental business in the ferrous raw material field to
help realize a society that’s based on recycling. One way we do this is by selling
iron scrap from demolition sites to steelmakers who use electric furnaces.
Recognizing this use of cold steel resources as a growth field, we are currently
expanding operations by engaging in trilateral trading between Japan and ASEAN
countries such as Vietnam and Indonesia. We are also expanding our recycling
business by handling RPF (Refuse Paper and Plastic Fuel), which can be burned
instead of coal in the steelmaking process, as well as the slag that’s a byproduct
of the steelmaking process, which can be used as a constituent in cement.

Providing a Stable Supply of
High-Quality Products
That Support the Next Generation
The Nonferrous Metals Division constantly monitors global
developments and stays in the forefront by satisfying emerging needs. The main products we handle are aluminum and
copper, but aluminum in particular has recently been in the
spotlight. To reduce the burden humankind places on the
environment, there has been a worldwide trend toward using
aluminum to make automotive vehicles more lightweight and
energy efficient.
21
OUR STRATEGY
We Complete
a Supply Chain That Satisfies
Customers’ Exacting Requirements
Aluminum has become essential in the transportation industry
as a means of lightening the weight and improving the energy
efficiency of automotive vehicles, rolling stock and planes.
Making vehicles lighter is one way to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions, and aluminum parts contribute to that goal. To date,
We Meet Customer Needs
the shift to aluminum has been seen primarily in Japan, North
America and Europe, but because climate change is an issue
that transcends national boundaries, it is fast becoming a global
with High Value-Added
trend that includes newly developed countries.
Demand for copper is also on the rise, reflecting an increase
in hybrid vehicles and automotive electronics, as well as the
global dissemination of portable IT terminals that require
connectors that are both strong and flexible. With our deep
Products Processed

knowledge of various metal alloys, we serve as a crucial bridge
between materials manufacturers and end users. To better
serve diversifying customer needs.
Shinsho has established an aluminum processing plant in
China that enables us to go beyond simply finding suppliers and
selling materials; now we can actually process the material
ourselves to meet specific customer requirements. In this way
we act as an important link in our client companies’ supply
chain.
Our Strength Lies in Our Technical Expertise
as a Member of the Kobe Steel Group
We at Shinsho fully understand the technical characteristics of
the value-added aluminum and copper products we sell. Taking
advantage of the technical resources we enjoy as a member of
the Kobe Steel Group, we can go the extra mile to ensure that
our customers get exactly what they need. Our processing
facilities located in various locations throughout the world
handle not just KOBELCO products but materials produced by
other manufacturers in Japan and abroad. We are familiar with
the characteristics of materials made by many different companies, which allows us to select and process the products that
precisely match customer specifications. With a focus on
operating locations in China and Southeast Asia, we have laid
out a fine-tuned network that supplies products with the same
high quality as those produced in Japan, giving customers the
peace of mind that only comes from a trading company that is
closely associated with quality manufacturing.

Vina Washin Aluminum Co., Ltd is located in My Phuoc Industrial Park north of Ho Chi
Minh City in Binh Duong Province, Vietnam. It is an integrated production facility
engaged in melting, casting and processing operations with an output of aluminum
extrusions and processed products.
Until recently, there were no manufacturers in the ASEAN region that could produce
the special alloys needed for precision equipment and motorcycle/automobile parts,
making it necessary to import them from Japan. This joint venture takes advantage of the
expertise of our partner company Washin Kogyo Co., Ltd., which has long experience
extruding aluminum in an integrated production system. By introducing this system to
Vietnam, it becomes possible for us to provide a local supply of high-quality,
high-strength aluminum parts that improve the production efficiency of our customers

Bolstering Our Domestic Distribution System for Nonferrous Metals
Shinsho acquired Kobelco Tsutsunaka Trading Co., Ltd. when the latter was established
through an incorporation-type company split carried out by Tsutsunaka Metal Industry
Co., Ltd. It became a Shinsho subsidiary and started operating in July 2014. Also, on
May 1, 2015, Kobelco Tsutsunaka Trading acquired Korea Tsutsunaka & Namekawa
Aluminum Co., Ltd. from Tsutsunaka Metal and renamed it KTN Co., Ltd.
Tsutsunaka Metal Industry was a commission agent with a long history dealing in
nonferrous metals, materials and finished goods primarily within Japan. It had many
excellent customers in fields that Shinsho was particularly interested in, including
automobiles, liquid crystals and semiconductor devices. This made it an ideal partner for
generating a synergistic effect.
KTN cuts, processes, and wholesales high-precision aluminum plate. As Shinsho’s
first nonferrous processing and sales facility to operate in Korea, it contributes to a more
efficient supply chain for overseas customers.

authority regulations, the Staff Department at the Head Office utilizing their specialist knowledge conducts
preliminary reviews of decisions made. The Department also monitors the performance of business conducted by the Group while cooperating with the Business Planning Office placed at each sales section and
if necessary makes suggestions for improvement and provides specific advice and instruction.
Moreover, the Auditing Department and Accounting Auditors make efforts to strengthen their partnership
through regular exchange of opinions and endeavor to monitor legality and fairness in the business performed by each department. We aim to not only ensure compliance through these systems and activities,
but to also enhance and maintain the integrity and transparency of our business and prevent management
risk.

Overseas Training Programs
The Group is actively securing and training human resources with experience in global business, in order to create a sound business
foundation from which to realize our long-term business management vision. As part of this in 2010 we launched a program to train
young Japanese employees overseas. This program is designed for all non-specialist staff with careers of no more than ten years in
the company. Those selected are sent to work with subsidiary companies in the US, China, Thailand and other locations.
The intention of overseas training is that participants acquire language skills and develop the ability to communicate easily with
people from different cultural backgrounds. Young employees who have already completed this program are now working in our
offices in Japan and overseas.
We are also recruiting foreign students in Japan to become part of our global team, as well as arranging training in Japan for staff
in other countries. In this way we are fostering human resources competent in handling global business in the future.
Eligibility
Non specialist staff with no more than 10 years’ employment in the company (5 divisions, administrative staff)
