As the sole manufacturing trading company in the Honda Group, we make full use of the strengths of our global operation and support customers’ value chains from a total perspective, including the procurement of raw materials used largely in the field of vehicles, as well as manufacturing, sales and recycling.

Supplying raw materials

We carry out the procurement and supply of non-iron metals, iron products and resin materials, used largely in the field of vehicles. By also offering manufacturing services in steel plate processing and molten aluminum, we are able to provide a quality of service that goes above and beyond that of ordinary trading firms.

Recycling

We aim to recycle useful resources such as the iron, aluminum and resin that can be extracted from end-of-life cars (scrapped cars), considering resource circulation from a global perspective, and aim to expand our efforts to promote an environmentally-friendly recycling society.
