The subject company was established on the basis of a section separated from Kanematsu Corp (see REGISTRATION) in order to engage in trading of machining tools.  In 2002 merged with two sister companies, Kanematsu Industrial Machinery Ltd & Kanematsu Machinery Corp, to expand business into industrial machinery dealing.  This is a trading house having two divisions: Factory solution division (machine tools) & Product solution division (industrial machinery).  Has marketing offices in Malaysia, China, USA, other.  Domestic clients are machine tool mfrs, wholesalers, other, nationwide.  The firm separated maintenance & repairing operations into an independent entity as a round of restructuring.
