ABOUT
Nohara Group Inc.
Nohara Group Inc. was founded in 1598 at the end of the Warring States Period in what is now Iida City, Nagano Prefecture.
The history of the company, which has a history of more than 400 years up to the present, began with the “cotton trade.
From the end of the Edo period to the beginning of the Meiji period, the company read the coming era and gave up the “cotton business” to its old employees and expanded into steel, cement, and other different fields, achieving success.
Today, while dealing in steel, cement, interior building materials, and other construction materials, the company has continued to take on the challenge of creating and diversifying new businesses, such as construction work associated with these products and the manufacture and installation of road signs, and has always worked diligently to meet the needs of society and people.
In 1947, Nohara Sangyo Co., Ltd. was established in Odawara-cho, Tokyo (currently named Tsuchiji), a general trading company of construction materials with a 70-year history.In 2016, our Carlton ultra-lightweight ceiling material and WhO wallpaper won the Good Design Award.
