History
KAJI TECH CO., LTD. traces its origins to 1922, when founder Toshiteru Kajiura established Fujimoto-go Kajiura Shoten in Higashi-ku, Osaka. In 1924, the business was renamed Kajiura Shoten and expanded into the Chugoku, Kyushu, and Tokai regions of Japan. By 1931, it had extended its reach to Korea and Northeast China. In 1941, it was incorporated as Yugen Kaisha Kajiura Shoten. The company suffered severe losses during World War II, including destruction by fire and the loss of overseas assets. It re-established operations in 1947 in Higashinari-ku, Osaka. In 1949, it opened an export department in Minami-ku, Osaka (Sueyoshibashi). In 1953, it was reorganized as a joint-stock company and moved its head office to Minamisenba, Chuo-ku, Osaka. A Tokyo office was opened in Taito-ku, Tokyo, in 1960.
