Nichimen Corporation
 PROFILE
With more on its plate than a Sumo wrestler, Nichimen's subsidiaries weigh in with products from tissues to child seats to tankers. The Japanese "sogo shosha" (general trading company) has offices in more than 86 cities worldwide and operates through three internal groups: Energy, Chemicals, and Plastics; Household, Consumer, and General Products; and Metals and Machinery. Nichimen produces coal, automotive safety devices, copper foil, condominiums, lumber, rice and grains, casual wear, autos, industrial plants, and steel. To increase its competitiveness, Nichimen has cut its workforce, sold and merged unprofitable subsidiaries, and embarked on several e-commerce ventures, including a virtual mall.
