Our Role and Mission in an Era of Change

  • President & CEO Kiyoaki Tsuda
  • Sojitz Machinery Corporation, as a member of the Sojitz Group - a leading general trading company - has long supported customers around the world by integrating its expertise in industrial machinery and equipment with the Group’s trading capabilities.

    Amid global shifts in industrial structures, the reconfiguration of supply chains, and advances in technological innovation such as environmental regulations, AI, and digital transformation, the business environment surrounding companies is undergoing significant change at an unprecedented speed and with growing uncertainty.

    In this context, our role extends beyond the simple supply of machinery and equipment. By gaining a thorough understanding of our customers’ business strategies and challenges, and by providing optimal solutions from a medium- to long-term perspective, we believe that contributing to the creation of sustainable business value is our mission.

    Leveraging the Sojitz Group’s global network, market intelligence, and partnerships, we deliver value-added proposals from a global perspective across regions and markets. Our strength lies in providing integrated B2B solutions worldwide, including collaboration with overseas manufacturers, procurement and logistics within international trade flows, and comprehensive after-sales services. In every market, we pursue solutions tailored to local business environments and needs, striving to remain a trusted partner to our customers.

    At the core of these efforts are our people, who combine hands-on expertise with strong execution capabilities. We believe that our distinctive value is created through the commitment, professionalism, and strong sense of responsibility of each employee—together with the ability to think independently and embrace change as an opportunity. By strengthening our people-centered organizational capabilities, we aim to achieve sustainable growth in the global marketplace.

    As a member of the Sojitz Group, we will continue to act in accordance with our corporate philosophy, contributing to the resolution of social issues through our business activities while enhancing both corporate value and societal value. United as one company, we are committed to supporting our customers’ businesses over the long term and to being a company that continues to earn their trust.
