Established :1915

GREETING
New Century
In this age of rapid globalization being accelerated by innovational development of
information technology, it will be of a special importance for all commercial houses andmanufacturers to associate with the international society in search of well-balanced
collaboration effective for mutual benefit on a basic concept of "independence andinterdependence".
Under such a significant change of the world, it is our conviction that trading firms
must play more important roles with full use of their overall know-how acquired in longinternational activities not only in the field of traditional commodity transactions but
also in such new fields as technical collaboration, capital participation, or joint venutresfor human welfare and environmental protection which are increasingly demanded inmany young nations.

History
Since establishment of the Company in 1915, we, Nishizawa Limited, have consistently
strived to enhance our range of handling commodities and sphere of trading activities tomatch the needs of each era, keeping close communication with clients through our affiliatedcompanies, branch offices or representative offices being networked over the world.
Especially in African countries, we have marked a pioneering status among many Japanesetrading firms since early 1950's, when Japan could have just resumed foreign transactions
after the World War II. As one good example in Nigeria, we have set up a huge blanket
factory in 1962, which was the first Japanese foreign investment in West Africa, and an
integrated textile factory in 1965, under joint capitals with public organization and private
investors. While taking the leadership for smooth operation of these facrtories, we havetrained numbers of local workers and have successfully provided them with our professional
skill and modern know-how to run the factories by themselves.

Activities
Through such a worldwide business collaboration or joint ventures to match the local
demand, our aggressive activities have been expanded all over the world, and presently weare enjoying high reputations as a specially integrated trading company with rich examples
of success in many foreign countries.
In addition to supply of machineries, plants, materials and technical guidance, our eyes arealways on the future of human welfare by implementation of such national projects as maintenance and improvent of infrastructures of the world, promotion of health and education
for women and children, rural electrification, irrigation and agricultural development scheme
etc., based on ODA (official development assistance by Japanese Government) fund.

Our View
Our vision is to focus on "well-being humanity" in 21st Century, and, NISHIZAWA willcontinue our challenges toward the bright future for all human beings, with awareness of
mission as a good consultant and advisor for total solution of world demands in harmony
with environmental safeguards.
