In addition to Base Pack—a column base product for steel frames that is a staple for us—we handle a wide range of products including: OS rings (steel frame through-hole reinforcements), antiseismic and vibration-damping components (unbond braces, B-UP braces, NS-SSB devices, Octobases), and Stan packages (pre-engineered building components), Intumescent Fireproofing Coating（Interchar212）. We also perform contracted construction work in addition to selling materials. Base Pack, which we sell, is characterized by outstanding earthquake resistance using an exposed column base construction method to achieve joints that meet holding strength requirements. With a record of zero collapses in the Great Hanshin Awaji Earthquake of 1995 and the Great East Japan Earthquake of 2011, the Base Pack system is used for a wide range of buildings from private homes to large-scale stores and factories, giving our business partners, residents, and users peace of mind.

We primarily deal in deformed bars, which is the main material of reinforced concrete structures. We also handle threaded deformed bar, deformed bar mechanical joints, structural round bar, and semi-finished billets. Deformed bars are the most common structual steel products used in Japan. They are known for their high versatility, and are used for apartment buildings, schools, and hotels, as well as for the foundations of steel-framed high-rise buildings, distribution warehouses, and wooden houses, as well as for civil engineering projects. Deformed bars also happen to be a recycled product manufactured from ferrous scrap by electric furnace steel makers, and is eco-friendly because in the manufacturing process it emits less CO2, said to be the main cause of global warming. MM&KENZAI Corporation takes pride in handling the industry’s highest volume of deformed bars, and has achieved stable supply of deformed bars based on market/supply trends for raw materials and billets.

We mainly sell shaped steel products used for structures such as buildings and factories. These products, which are used in a wide range of applications, include: H beams, columns, angles, channels, flat bars, rails, light beams, and so on. We purchase these products from manufacturers and sell them to customers, mainly steel wholesalers (stock distributors). Our strength is our wide range of purchasing and sales networks, which are unique to the MM&KENZAI Corporation Group. We have offered a one-stop service for our customers by utilizing our stock, processing, and distribution bases spread throughout the country. We are always maintaining close contacts with customers in each region of the country and preparing a system to meet the diverse needs of our customers.

We trade in ferrous scrap and stainless steel scrap domestically and through imports and exports. Utilizing business relations with approximately 1,000 companies across Japan, we have been able to establish an optimal raw material supply system that matches the demand of the blast furnace and electric furnace mills. We handle the largest amounts of scrap in the industry. In recent years, we have been expanding into overseas markets with exports to South Korea, Taiwan, as well as Southeast and Southwest Asia.

MM&KENZAI Corporation strives to help enhance the recycling of materials other than ferrous metals and stainless steels as well, and to promote its commercialization. Through industrial solutions to the mounting problems concerning waste and the environment, we are contributing to the preservation of the global environment and the realization of a recycling-based society.
