Onoken was established in Oita Prefecture in 1949 during Japan’s postwar reconstruction period. Since then, we have handled construction materials and other items to meet social infrastructure development and construction demand, with the motto of being a company that can contribute to local communities. For over 70 years, we have been involved in the steel and construction businesses, while establishing a nationwide logistics network and iron processing capabilities, and have continued to grow together with local communities.
Now and in the future, our value as an organization lies in helping to build Japan, its urban areas, and its manufacturing capabilities.
Our steel and construction businesses support local economies and infrastructure, create jobs, and contribute to the national and regional development of Japan.
We help to build urban areas by improving buildings and public infrastructure to support safe and secure local communities.
Furthermore, we help to enhance manufacturing capabilities by making full use of our inventory, logistics, and processing capabilities in distributing materials that Japan’s manufacturing industries require.
We thus believe that our mission is not simply to deliver products, but to support the future by contributing to society—the motive that drove our founding.
Committed to this mission, we will continue to earn the trust of all our stakeholders as we conduct our business.
We always approach our customers and local communities with a bright, cheerful, and positive attitude to ensure our presence makes people glad that Onoken exists. We look forward to celebrating our centennial and a future we can be proud of.
Takeshi Ono, President
