Corporate Profile
About Kadotoku Corporation
It is our pleasure and goal to conquer hearts of customers
with “Thank you” messages in return.
Our company was founded in 1993 by Jozo Itano as a chemical trading company that handled raw materials such as paints, inks, and adhesives.
The origin of “Kadotoku” comes from the name of the Kadotoku joinery store, which was founded by my mother’s parents’ house.
Its history is that when it was first founded in the Edo period, it purchased high-quality paper used for tableware from all over Japan and traded it. In 1877 (Meiji 10), they say that it operated in Minami-horie, Osaka.
With the help of excellent craftsmen from all over the country, the business style changed into a manufacturing business that manufactures and sells not only tableware but also fittings such as columns.
We started as a chemical trading company that handles special chemical raw materials, but in the spirit of the store name “Kadotoku”, we are constantly changing and evolving ourselves by snuggling up to the manufacturing of our customers and supporting the spirit of Japanese manufacturing without compromising just as a seller.
We wish to be contributable to Japanese industry from now on and be growing together with our customers.
Hope you expect much of our challenges!

Company Motto
“Challenge will not betray us”
We Kadotoku Corporation have a strong conviction of “We should always accomplish requests from customers without giving up.”
Because we believe we always get something as far as our challenges are meaningful even if we result in failing.
The challenge is the start to progress and justice for us.
Management Vision
“Creating a new future ahead of challenges”
The future is what is happening from now, and it should be basically something new. There can be no old future.
However, we think that the future as a result of consuming time without challenge obsolete.
Encounter with unknown materials, technological innovation, nanotechnology, advanced information society, globalization, SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) …
The soil to be cultivated is infinitely wide.
We want to create a new “future” that goes beyond repeated challenges.
Since “passion is superior to talent”, which is also the motto of Kadotoku, we have made passion = orange our corporate color.
The lower left corner represents the foundation to date, and the upper corner represents the “tsuno”(“horn” in English), or antenna.
At the top, 〇 is an image of virtue = morals and the Japanese flag, and we put an antenna around the world and put the spirit to disseminate Japanese industry to the world.
Kadotoku will spread the antenna around the world and support Japanese industry by valuing our morals and encounters.
