Company

Since our founding in 1998, we have been committed to creating high value-added products that exceed the expectations of customers not only in Japan but around the world, primarily in the casting and forging industries.

In August 2025, I succeeded the previous president as the second-generation leader of the company. What I have inherited is a philosophy rooted in two core principles: the pursuit of both material and spiritual well-being for all employees, and a passion for challenging possibilities.

The former president often shared his belief that “a company cannot exist without pursuing the well-being of its employees, both materially and spiritually.” He also embodied a relentless determination to tackle and solve even the most difficult challenges brought to us by our customers. I am committed to carrying forward both this philosophy and this passion.

There is purpose in life only when one achieves something. This is a quote by Ryoma Sakamoto, from whom I take my name.

Although we are a small company, as long as we exist, we believe in achieving what only Shift Chemical can do, delivering unique value that no one else can. We are confident that our presence can help move our customers forward when they face challenges.

We sincerely hope for your continued support and look forward to your expectations for the new Shift Chemical.

Management policy

We strive to pursue both the material and spiritual well-being of all employees while contributing to the progress and development of Japanese society and humanity as a whole. Our goal is to be a company where everyone we engage with can truly feel a sense of happiness.

Challenge the possibilities.

Shift Chemical is a company that continues to take on challenges, driven by a commitment to the happiness of each employee and to contributing to society. Our industry may be niche and not always in the spotlight. Yet within it, there are countless voices that have been resigned to it can’t be helped or it’s impossible. Since our founding, we have continuously invested in research and development to respond to those voices. We strive to improve the quality of our products and services so that customers who once gave up can see new possibilities ahead. No matter how difficult or unlikely the challenge may seem, we believe that beyond solving it lies our customers satisfaction and progress for society as a whole. Shift Chemical will continue to take on these challenges. Our pride lies in this unwavering commitment̶to turn the impossible into possible.
