At the Heart of the World
Creating Value for the Future
The contents of a shipping container are more than just goods.
They are the seeds of new value and services, waiting for ideas and imagination to germinate them.
We are SHINSHO Co., Ltd.
For over 60 years, this belief has guided our operations in Kobe.
While focusing on food raw materials, today SHINSHO is extending its scope to include special construction materials, in step with the changing times.
Keenly attuned to shifting trends and markets, we change nimbly with the times.
That’s the strength of SHINSHO.
Focusing on issues that matter to customers,
we turn our gaze to fields others have yet to enter,
unearthing potential needs and transforming them into fresh value.
Every challenge is met with
the agility that defines SHINSHO.
The goods people need, delivered when they need it, in the form they need it in.
SHINSHO approaches the export/import business with a consulting and coordinating perspective.
Wherever there are good products, we can ship them from the world to Japan, and from Japan to the world,
transcending the bounds of a traditional trading company.
01 SELECTION
Discovering the Seeds of Value
SHINSHO painstakingly selects agricultural products, food raw materials, and other materials, screening quality, reliability, and marketability from a multitude of perspectives.
We’re not just looking for suppliers. Our starting point is to seek out items that will create value for the future.
02 COORDINATE
Giving Tangible Form to Value
The raw materials we select are of little value if left as they are.
Supplier and market, quality and price, grade and expression:
Bringing diverse elements together and arranging them effectively is the secret to value creation.
03 DELIVERY
Bringing Value to Communities
Shipping. Customs clearance. Quality control. On-time delivery.
Remove any one of these things, and value walks out the door.
SHINSHO delivers each of these qualities at every step of the logistics chain, from the world to Japan and back again.
That’s the assurance we bring you as a trading company.
We leverage connections among locations across the world, in China, Taiwan, Uzbekistan, Myanmar, South Korea, Spain and elsewhere, to deliver a diverse array of value.
SHINSHO carefully selects products from countries around the world, links them in a network with a seasoned eye, and delivers them to customers in optimal form.
From food raw materials to sundries and construction materials, SHINSHO generates flows of new value unfettered by the confines of particular fields.
