Uematsu Shokai Co., Ltd.

Uematsu Shokai Co., Ltd. (株式会社植松商会) is a Japanese wholesale trading company headquartered in Wakabayashi-ku, Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture. The company specializes in the purchase and sale of machinery, tools, and industrial equipment for factories, serving customers primarily across the Tohoku region of northeastern Japan. It also conducts export operations, supplying machinery, tools, and industrial equipment to overseas markets. The business was founded in May 1950 in Aoba-ku, Sendai, and was reorganized into a joint-stock company (kabushiki gaisha) in June 1955. In July 1969 the head office was relocated to Wakabayashi-ku, Sendai, where it remains today. Over the decades the company expanded its sales network across the Tohoku region, establishing offices in Aomori, Iwate, Miyagi, and Fukushima prefectures, and later extending its reach to the Kanto region with a Yokohama sales office and a Tokyo office. Uematsu Shokai is a listed company. Its shares were first registered over-the-counter in November 1991, then listed on the JASDAQ market in December 2004. In December 2024 the company listed on the Nagoya Stock Exchange Main Market. It is noted as a company listed solely on the Nagoya Stock Exchange Main Market. In September 2026, due to non-compliance with the Tokyo Stock Exchange's listing maintenance criteria (market capitalization of tradable shares below 1 billion yen), the company was delisted from the Tokyo Stock Exchange Standard Market, while its listing on the Nagoya Stock Exchange Main Market continues. As a wholesale distributor rather than a manufacturer, Uematsu Shokai functions as an intermediary in the industrial supply chain, connecting manufacturers of machinery, tools, and industrial equipment with factory customers. Its regional focus on Tohoku, combined with export activities, positions it as a specialized trading house serving the manufacturing and industrial sectors of northeastern Japan.

Uematsu Shokai was founded in May 1950 in Aoba-ku, Sendai, as a business dealing in machinery, tools, and industrial equipment. In June 1955, the business was reorganized into a joint-stock company (kabushiki gaisha). In July 1969, the head office was relocated to Wakabayashi-ku, Sendai, where it remains headquartered. The company grew as a wholesale distributor serving factories, primarily in the Tohoku region. It established a network of sales offices across the region, including Hachinohe in Aomori Prefecture; Miyako, Kitakami, and Ichinoseki in Iwate Prefecture; Furukawa, Ishinomaki, Sendai-Yamato, and Sennan in Miyagi Prefecture; and Fukushima, Koriyama, and Shirakawa in Fukushima Prefecture. It later expanded into the Kanto region with a Yokohama sales office in Zama, Kanagawa Prefecture, and a Tokyo office in Ota-ku, Tokyo. In addition to domestic wholesale operations, the company also engages in the export of machinery, tools, and industrial equipment to overseas markets. On the capital markets side, Uematsu Shokai registered its shares over-the-counter in November 1991. In December 2004, it listed on the JASDAQ market. In December 2024, the company listed on the Nagoya Stock Exchange Main Market. It is noted as a company listed solely on the Nagoya Stock Exchange Main Market. In September 2026, because it no longer met the Tokyo Stock Exchange's listing maintenance criteria — specifically, the market capitalization of its tradable shares fell below 1 billion yen — the company was delisted from the Tokyo Stock Exchange Standard Market, while its listing on the Nagoya Stock Exchange Main Market continued.
