Oohashi’s History<\/span>\u30aa\u30aa\u30cf\u30b7\u306e\u6b74\u53f2<\/span><\/h2>\n

\n\nOur founder, Takeo Oohashi, was involved in a variety of businesses, including removing moss from boats and selling charcoal.
\nDuring this time, his side business of sorting and crushing waste electric wires began to take off, and in 1970 he founded Oohashi Metal Industries Ltd., which marked the beginning of the story of today’s Oohashi.
\nWe have inherited the technology that has been accumulated over the years, are committed to valuing limited resources, and will continue to provide new value towards building a sustainable society.\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n
