Ever since Metal One was established in 2003, as a leading steel distribution company we have sought to raise the satisfaction levels of our customers and business partners worldwide and provide innovative capabilities and services suited to the changing times. Becoming the world’s number one integrated steel trading company is the goal of the Metal One Group for 2020, and as a corporate group we are striving to fulfill the expectations and maintain the trust of all our stakeholders through sustainable growth in our corporate value. The global steel industry is changing faster than ever before. Marshaling our group’s total capabilities, Metal One will broadly coordinate and collaborate with our shareholding companies—Mitsubishi Corporation and Sojitz Corporation—to achieve a resilient corporate structure and continuous growth, no matter what environmental changes may occur. With our corporate philosophy—“global citizen,” “honesty and virtue,” and “aspirations and creativity”—as the basis for all our group’s activities, we go about our daily work, seeking to contribute to society, earn its trust, and become a sustainable and superior company.
