Re-examining
our origins
for further
cultural reform.
Committed to "Single-minded Devotion to One Business," paving the way for a new era as a 100-year company.
Since our founding in 1947, Ochiai Co., Ltd. has supported Japanese manufacturing as a general trading company centered on three divisions: "Power Transmission Equipment," "Bearings," and "Tools." For 78 long years, while rooted in the shitamachi (traditional downtown) area of Iriya, Tokyo, we have steadily expanded our business, developing a nationwide network of bases not only in the Kanto region but also in the Chubu, Kansai, and Tohoku regions. We have continued our steady progress to this day, including the renewal and opening of our Osaka branch last year in 2024.
Having navigated the turbulent currents of the times, including the Lehman Shock and the COVID-19 pandemic, our company's next goal is to become a "100-year company." To kick things off this year, 2025, we have formulated a "Medium-Term Business Plan" leading up to 2028. We have set specific numerical targets of 200 employees and 20 billion yen in sales in three years, and have laid out a growth strategy based on selection and concentration.
For our company, this is a goal that cannot be achieved by simply continuing on our past trajectory; it is the first step in ascending to a new stage. To use a soccer analogy, it might be like the trial a J3 league team faces to get promoted to J2. I believe the key to achieving this is a cultural reform based on our company motto, "Sincerity and Good Faith."
From the time of our founding, all our employees have been our colleagues and our very family. "Sincerity and Good Faith," which consists of four principles—"a spirit of coexistence, not coercion," "a spirit of altruism, not self-interest," "a spirit of contribution, not profit and loss," and "a heart of gratitude"—is a message that expresses the importance of all employees treating company events as their own, just as family members respect and help one another, unbound by the frameworks of department, age, or position. I believe that rebuilding the sense of unity, which has been fading with our nationwide expansion and the changing times, will become a great strength for our company as we open the door to the next stage .
Meanwhile, "Single-minded Devotion to One Business" is also a spirit that has supported our company since its founding. As we aim to become a "100-year company," we plan to execute various strategies, including new business development and M&A, but the idea of doing anything as long as it generates profit does not exist in our company. Our style is to establish a unique business by leveraging the know-how we have cultivated as a trading company, without comparing ourselves to other companies or being swayed by the times. Come to think of it, both the founder and the second president were mavericks in the industry. I now feel once again that I have also inherited that DNA.
Please look forward to what’s next for Ochiai Co., Ltd. as we re-examine our origins and head towards a new stage.
