About

Nissho Iwai Corporation was a historic, tier-1 global Japanese general trading company (sogo shosha) that operated as a major international trade, investment, and industrial infrastructure gateway for decades. Established in 1968 through the high-profile merger of Nissho Company (originally Suzuki & Company, founded in 1902) and Iwai & Company (founded in 1901), the multinational conglomerate coordinated multi-billion-dollar global distribution networks spanning aerospace systems, automotive manufacturing, energy development, chemicals, and industrial commodities.
