Message from the President

Leading the Manufacturing Division of YAMCO Group

Yamashin Steel is a manufacturer of cold drawn bars of special steel. We were founded in 1939 and have amassed experience and technology over a half century while successfully changing with the times. We are a leader in the industry; as the producer of the most stainless steel and high alloy steel in Japan, we are a truly unique company specializing in manufacturing cold drawn stainless steel and high alloy steel bars.
Any manufacturer’s greatest strength is the power of the products they produce. High quality and reasonable prices are a given, and thus cannot be claimed as a company’s strengths. Our aim is to create products that our customers find dependable and easy to work with in the field; we want our customers to feel reassured and keep coming back for more. The power of our products lies in our ability to infuse them with properties that meet our customers’ needs and expectations. Our pursuit of this power has led us through nearly a half century of purposeful reform that continues to this day. We hope you continue to rely on the power of Yamashin Steel products.
