With the world as our stage, MAJ is a leading international trading company that provides a wide range of products used in a multitude of diverse applications that span from the commercial market to the aerospace and defense markets.
Midoriya Electric Co., Ltd. and Auriema International Inc. established Midoriya Auriema Japan, Ltd. in a joint venture in October, 1967. The company immediately became an invaluable link between overseas manufacturers and the Japanese market by importing a variety of electronic components, AC&R components, and security equipment. After two decades of successful business, in October of 1988, the joint venture was dissolved and Midoriya Auriema Japan, Ltd. became MAJ Co., Ltd.
Since its original incorporation over 50 years ago, MAJ has truly become a "world trading company" that is regarded highly by both Japanese customers and overseas manufacturers. From component to subsystem, from consumer use to military use, we have worked hard in order to meet the needs of our customers and now offer a wide range of products while possessing the infrastructure and staff to provide truly world-class support.
From here on we will continue to provide the best possible solutions to our customers by handling products from across the globe and helping manufacturers overcome language and cultural barriers which would otherwise impede the expansion of their business. Serving as the link that provides first-rate components and equipment to customers is our highest objective and we will work unerringly to that end.
