Welcome! Thank you for visiting Toyo Kohan's website.
Toyo Kohan was established in 1934 as the first private manufacturer of tinplate in Japan, and we are satisfying customers demands for material products and services by applying our own technologies that we have refined for rolling, surface finishing, laminating, etc. for 75 years since then. Nowadays, we improved the commercial value of other materials than steel such as nonferrous aluminum and resin, though Toyo Kohan started as a steel corporation. We aim to make unique new business model in the world by consolidating three major business areas which consist of “Steel sheet business”, “Functional materials business” and “Chemical Products business”.We actively train our employee on the job for the development of human resources and the building of the human character to achieve our business objective.
