Company Lineage

JFE Shoji’s main roots can be traced back to two core companies, Kawasho Corporation and NKK Trading. (Kawasho Corporation was established through a merger between Shinjo Steel, Aoyama Special Steel and Maya Kogyo in 1954. After merging with Kokan Shoji and later Ito Soji Shoten, Fuji Shoji was renamed NKK Trading in 1989.)

After establishment of JFE Shoji

As of October 1st, 2004, JFE Shoji Group which consisted of JFE Shoji, Kawasho Foods, Kawasho Semiconductor, Kawasho Real Estate was established and these four companies were placed under the umbrella of JFE Shoji Holdings.
JFE Shoji Corporation was born through the merger between Kawasho Corporation and NKK Trading to handle steel & steel peripheral business as core trading house of JFE Group. Kawasho Foods, Kawasho Semiconductor, Kawasho Real Estate were established through a company split-up, becoming operating subsidiaries of JFE Shoji Holdings.

As of April, 2012, JFE Shoji Corporation performed an absorption-type merger of JFE Shoji Holdings in order to develop a speedy and agile group management through a more efficient structure with JFE Shoji as its core.

Moreover, as of October, 2012, JFE Shoji became a wholly owned subsidiary of JFE Holdings to utilize JFE Shoji’s marketing-related functions for the benefit of the entire JFE Group and to strengthen and streamline the whole group’s steel business supply chain.
