Greeting
We were established in Octoober 1945, as a distributor of kitchen utensils and hand tools. Our city, Sakai, is well known as a place of leading producer of Japanese hardware or hand tools.
Late ’50s, not only hand tools, by becoming a business partner of Makita, we marketed power tools early days before other distributors.
In 2003, we established the distribution center in Miki-city to supply power tools, hand tools, construction tools and gardening tools.
Now we are becoming a general distributor supplying various tools and recognized as a leading distributor by professional craft-people.
Today’s social change requests innovation as essential strategy. In 2011, we changed our name from “HAYASHI Hardware Co., Ltd.” to “HAYASHI Co., Ltd”, with the commitment that our business will launch the territory that we never hold.
We hope prosper with our business partners. We therefor promise to keep our tradition. On the other hand, we will not be afraid innovation to offer most suitable solution to the customers.
