In and out -- as in import/export -- is what Iwatani International is all about. The global company is a major supplier of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). It also exports raw materials and machinery through a network of about 75 overseas offices and about 350 affiliated trading companies. Iwatani's energy and living essentials group (LPG supply; home equipment; Agri-Bio and foods) accounts for about half of sales.
