President’s message

President and Representative Director Toyohisa Kaneko

“We will actively meet the market’s needs.”
With this founding spirit of Shin-Ei Kinzoku Co., Ltd. in mind, we have contributed to the industrial development of resource-scarce Japan as a metal recycling company by offering new resources. Today, we have developed into a group of general recycling companies. As a leader in helping build a sound material-cycle society, we have confidence and commitment in operating our business.
With our society, economy, and the global environment changing rapidly, many new issues have emerged. When we reviewed our founding spirit, we recognized that our mission also encompasses initiatives to solve issues beyond the scope of recycling business.
Against this backdrop, we decided to establish Shin-Ei Holdings Co., Ltd. to enable respective group companies to demonstrate their unique capabilities and to enable the group to launch into unconventional fields.
The corporate philosophy is “Committed to treasure hunting every day.”
We will properly meet the needs of our times while anticipating the next generation, discover “treasure” that satisfies customers, endeavor to increase our corporate value, and contribute to the development of society.。
Shin-Ei Holdings will continue to take on challenges to meet your expectations.

History

First President Shinichi Kaneko started an iron scrap shop under the trade name of Kaneko Shoten before WWII. As a family business, Kaneko Shoten collected, processed, and sold iron scrap.
Inspired by the booming industries due to the Korean War that started in 1950, Shinichi Kaneko convinced that the iron scrap business was viable as part of the recycling industry, raised capital from the market, and established Shin-Ei Kinzoku Co.
Ltd. in 1953. In 1963, Shin-Ei Kinzoku built the Toyota Plant to process chips from the Motomachi Plant of Toyota Motor Corporation. The volume of iron scrap handled increased as the number of vehicles manufactured by Toyota Motor Corporation grew.
To cope with ever increasing iron scrap, Shin-Ei Kinzoku increased its capital to expand business operations, building more plants and establishing alliances one after another.
Shin-Ei Transport Co., Ltd. was established as a company specializing in transport services by consolidating the transport companies that had been Shin-Ei Kinzoku’s contractors. Subsequently, Anjo Chip Kogyo Co., Ltd. was established to manufacture urethane chips (the business was later changed to manufacture chips of electric cables called “nuggets”), and Shin-Ei Kogyo Co.
Ltd. was established to specialize in handling nonferrous metals and stainless steel. These companies helped lay the foundation of what the Shin-Ei Group is today.

With the 80th anniversary of our founding close at hand, we have almost achieved the goals of gaining the social status of a recycling business and established member of the industry and improving our in-house systems. Nevertheless, new challenges are on the horizon, such as fulfilling social responsibilities, complying with laws and regulations, meeting intensifying competition, and coping with the globalization of the scrap market. We are determined to meet these challenges, further enhance corporate stability, and maintain the trust of customers (manufacturers and plants), contractors, and local communities.
Shin-Ei Kinzoku will now take another step forward. We will do our utmost to meet expectations of our stakeholders.
