Forging is the art of technology

Kotani Corporation has taken a new step to further strengthen its management base with the aim of further growth for the next half century. From June 28, 2022, Masahiro Kotani, President, was appointed as Chairman, and Satoshi Yoshikawa, Senior Managing Director, was appointed as President.

Our company was founded as Kotani Tankosho. in 1970 and has a history of more than 50 years. Even after this change, we will continue to work with you on the mission of a management philosophy that responds to shareholders, customers, local communities, employees, and families, which we have cultivated throughout our history.

When Kotani was founded, it was a company with only three people, but now it has more than 500 employees. With eleven factories in Japan and an overseas production base in China, we joined the ranks of global companies after half a century of history.
Since our founding, we have taken on the challenge of developing unique technologies and developed patented production methods. This spirit is inherited at domestic factories and we will play the role of a mother factory. For example, we have been working on the development of new products, the realization of a direct connection line for forging and hot rolling, the expansion of consistent production from forging to machining, and the establishment of a dedicated maintenance factory.

In addition, we were selected as a regional future leader by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry in December 2017. As a core company that contributes to local communities in Kasai City, where the rich rural landscape spreads, we will continue courageous challenges under the slogan of "local life, global company"

We appreciate your continuous cooperation and support.
