In 1910, Gosho’s first office was established in Texas, then, Kanematsu established its New York office in 1936, beginning its legacy in the United States as a provider of high expertise and service in a myriad of industries. After each company had developed numerous successful businesses, two companies merged and became Kanematsu-Gosho USA, Inc in 1967. Built upon the success of its parent firm, Kanematsu Corporation, a major Japanese trading company dating back to 1889, Kanematsu USA’s accumulated wisdom and experience is shared with strategic partners across diverse product lines.
