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!
