First and foremost, I wish to express my gratitude to our many valued customers for continuing to choose Sawayama & Co to support their business needs.  

Sawayama first became involved in the shipping industry in 1885, and we established our current company, Sawayama & Co., Ltd., in October 1934. As we head towards 150 years in business, the challenges of recent times have served to reaffirm our belief that the key to our company’s longevity is the unwavering support of our loyal customers, who have stuck with us through good times and bad. 

Over the course of our history, in addition to steadily expanding our range of shipping-related services, we have proactively sought out new business opportunities in emerging industries. At all times, our actions have been guided by the commitment of the Sawayama team to continue exceeding our customers’ ever-changing needs and contribute to the betterment of society. On behalf of Sawayama Group, I again wish to convey my deepest gratitude to our loyal customers for their ongoing patronage, and extend my prayers for their continued good health and prosperity.
