About DJK
DJK History
Evolving Industrial Machinery Supplier
Founded in the midst of a postwar reconstruction, we have steadily continued our non-speculative business of buying and selling machinery, and have achieved growth while earning trust as a sound company.
Supporting core industries in Japan has become the foundation of our business as a supplier of industrial machinery, and in recent years, our business domain has expanded to diverse industries.
We continue to evolve toward becoming the next-generation engineering trading firm that embodies the concept of products and integrated solutions business models beyond the framework of a trading company that only sells products, as the role we should play in the future.

Next-Generation Engineering Trading Firm
Striving to be a business partner that is one step ahead of the times, and that contributes to the growth of customer businesses and the realization of a sustainable society on a global scale by continuously providing value with our company’s engineering function as its core.
Approach to Business Portfolio
We have categorized the Company’s seven business segments by “net sales growth rate” (vertical axis) and our unique index, “business evaluation average values” (horizontal axis), which takes into account profitability, stability, and growth potential.
We position the Automotive, Healthcare, Energy Solutions, and Aviation & Social Infrastructure segments as priority areas, while the Plant & Energy, Industrial Machinery, and Electronics segments serve as our business foundations. The environment surrounding the Company will change depending on the era and business fields, but we believe that our seven business segments have a mutually complementary relationship that is one of the Company’s strengths. Going forward, based on the premise that our business portfolio involves the maintenance and development of the seven segments, we will continue to consider the optimum allocation of management resources.
