Message from the CEO

Itochu Corporation is “Sogo-Shosha” (Japanese general trading company) which has 90 offices in 61 countries with more than 300 affiliated companies. It has a history of transformation for as long as 160 years. Itochu’s business field ranges very widely, such as textile, machinery, metals, energy, chemicals, food, general products & realty, ICT and finance. It has been engaged in domestic/import/export/third-country trading of goods as well as local and global investments with more than 100,000 consolidated employees around the world. 

In terms of market capitalization, stock price and consolidated net profit, we rank among the top in Japanese major general trading companies. In April 2024, our group formulated a new management plan called "The Brand-new Deal", which means under the principle of "profits lie downstream", we aim to expand our business closer to consumers with a market-in approach, while also focusing on firmly exploring and expanding into high-value-added fields and to achieve sustainable enhancement of corporate value. 
Itochu Taiwan Corporation is one of the 100% subsidiary companies of Itochu Corporation, established in Taiwan in 1959. Itochu Taiwan has long been developing trading business as well as investment in collaboration with advanced companies in Taiwan, exploiting its advantage, a global business network of Itochu group.  Its business field ranges almost as wide as that of its parent company.

In 2018, our parent company, Itochu Corporation, made an investment in Taipei 101 (Taipei Financial Center Corp.), which often regarded as a landmark tower in Taipei, holding a current stake of 32.2%. As Taiwan ITOCHU, we are providing maximum support to further enhance the corporate value of Taipei 101. Additionally in 2021, we executed a strategic business investment in Taiwan's leading home delivery service company, Taiwan Pelican Express Co., Ltd., holding a stake of 19%.
In Taiwan Itochu, we uphold the founding spirit of Itochu Corporation, which is "Sanpo Yoshi" (benefit for all parties: seller, buyer and society), and we will steer our management with a market-in approach. Particularly in the Taiwan market where interest in advanced technology is extremely high, we aim to pursue the introduction of next-generation business models and new technologies in various fields, with the desire to stay ahead of the times.
We sincerely hope to collaborate with everyone in Taiwan to create new value together and contribute as much as possible to the economic development of the region.
