About KENKO
There were several factors that were decisive for me, such as the fact that I could gain knowledge about trading at a trading company, the stability of the company, which will celebrate its 60th anniversary in 2025, the number of holidays and overtime hours, and the excellent work-life balance, such as the telecommuting system. I thought I could make a career change and grow in this environment.
Since joining the company, I have been learning the essence of trading company sales from veteran members on a daily basis. I am happy to be able to do the work I want to do.
Business as Usual
I was transferred from Fine Chemicals Division to Chemicals Division in April 2025. Last year I imported and sold industrial product materials, and currently I am in charge of 15 companies, mainly domestic chemical product manufacturers, and selling raw materials imported from China and India. I am working hard every day to achieve stable and timely supply in close cooperation with suppliers.

About KENKO
I wanted to work in a job where I could make use of my knowledge and experience in import/export and English, and I was attracted to our company, which is a trading company, handles unique products, and has overseas offices. I am spending my days in a fulfilling and rewarding job where I can easily see the results of my actions in a small organization.
Never forget your first love.
Business as Usual
I am in charge of export sales (7 companies) and import sales (13 companies, some of which are non-industrial raw materials) of raw materials for industrial products. Exports are mainly to Indian customers, but also to the U.S. and Europe. Imports are raw materials purchased from China and India and sold to Japanese customers.
As a trading company that acts as an intermediary between suppliers and customers, we are always looking for "what we can do" for both parties and strive to provide value.
