Business Partners Further Strengthening Relationships as a Trusted Partner
Shigehito Ito
President and CEO
Benichu Steel Inc.

For half a century, we have been supplying steel materials used in various parts of the seats manufactured by TS TECH. The automotive industry is currently experiencing a once-in-a-century transformation. Guided by the TS TECH Supplier Sustainability Guidelines, we have been striving constantly to help build a sustainable world. Our initiatives include strengthening compliance, and accordingly we have set up a dedicated committee and hotline within the company. We are also continuing to promote thorough awareness of the matters to be observed, as set out in the compliance program, by offering training for all of our employees and sharing content via the company intranet.
In recent years, the challenge of achieving carbon neutrality has been positioned as a key part of the fight against climate change. In light of this, the very manufacturing process for automotive components and steel materials will need to be reconsidered in the future. However, as a company that plays a part in its supply chain, we hope to continue growing together with TS TECH in the future through flexible ideas and agility.
