Message from President
Let me extend my sincere gratitude to all of you for your support of our activities.
The NYK Trading Group, which was established on October 1, 2003, through the merger of Hikawa Shoji Kaisha, Ltd. and Asahi Mechatronics Corporation, was able to celebrate its 20th anniversary on October 1, 2023, and has now embarked on a new chapter. We sincerely extend our deepest appreciation for your continued kindness and support.
Our group is led by two core companies: NYK Trading Corporation, a trading firm specializing in energy for vessels and land-based industries, as well as marine equipment, and NYKT Marine Co., Ltd., a provider of marine materials and ship equipment for shipowners, along with marine machinery parts for operating vessels and logistic materials. Furthermore, our group’s strength lies in the close partnership with Japan Field&Marine Engineering Co. Ltd(JF&ME), a company newly established on April 1, 2025, as part of the NYK Group, inheriting the business of the former AMCO Engineering Co., Ltd. JF&ME offers services such as the design, installation, adjustment and maintenance of marine equipment.
As a member of the NYK Group, many of the products and services we provide are linked to marine industry in various forms, however, our business also extends beyond ship-related sectors, encompassing areas such as control equipment for land-based industries and power plants, solar power generation business, and the sale of logistics equipment, etc.
With the urgent need for global environmental measures, and the social challenges imposed on the maritime cluster, in which our company is deeply involved, are of significant magnitude. We recognize that the most critical issues for resolving these challenges are the transformation of ships themselves as transportation machines and the transition to new fuels, all while maintaining a stable supply. In this period of significant transformation, we will do our utmost to work as a united group, striving to deepen communication with each of our customers and providing proposals that emerge from those dialogues, with the aim of contributing to solving the challenges faced by both our customers and society.
Additionally, in order to remain a trusted corporate citizen, we are committed to making unwavering efforts across all aspects, including quality, pricing, service, information, and corporate ethics.
We would be most grateful for your continued support and patronage throughout the new era.
April, 2025

Representative Director and CEO
