“I want to save the lives of the workers.”
I’m Masakatsu Hoshino, CEO, HOSHINO SHOTEN CO., LTD.
It has passed forty years since I started business at Nagoya, my hometown, in 1977.
In 2015, new premises were built,
so I would like to say thank you for your cooperation
to all people who support us all over the world.
Since our start-up, manufacturing base has established abroad,
and under our policy of integrated manufacturing we have continued to
provide high-quality products in full amount and speedy.
And now, I keep to listening what the workers say.
Based on the network and know-how we got through long term experiences,
we focus on the research development for the products made from various materials,
and provide more highly functional and quality products.
Lastly, I’d like to say please keep your eyes on us and give us tough feedback. Thank you,
HOSHINO SHOTEN CO., LTD.
CEO, Makatsu Hoshino
