Nagasaki Branch
We are developing high-value added new business centered on “Ships/Nonferrous metals” and “New energy/Environment”.
The Nagasaki Branch was established shortly after the war in 1947 as an important base for Sojitz Kyushu and Sojitz Group, dealing with ship equipment, nonferrous metal raw material, parts for land plants, etc. The Branch works to contribute to the development of its clients and the local economy.
In recent years, the Nagasaki Branch has been working together with Nagasaki Prefecture in the aviation industry, an industry Nagasaki positions and promotes as a growing field, and training support for robot-related industry. The Branch works to resolve issues with the local economy and for regional revitalization.
