Kawasho Corporation
 PROFILE
Kawasho built its business with steel. Formed by Kawasaki Steel as a steel-trading company in 1954, Kawasho has expanded to become a global trading company active in the construction, lumber, food, and chemicals industries. Steel still accounts for about 60% of Kawasho's sales, and the company has joined MetalSite Japan, an e-commerce trading venture. Kawasho sells steel products acquired from Kawasaki and other mills to the automotive, shipbuilding, and construction industries, among others. Kawasho is also involved in fuels, machinery, ships, and amusement parks. The company, which is active on five continents, completed a merger with Nozaki, a canned-food and leather trader. Kawasaki Steel owns 25% of Kawasho.
