Marubeni Hong Kong & South China Limited, 100% held by Marubeni Corporation, is a general trading company with a history of over 50 years, and has established a very strong status in Hong Kong.   As it is now widely and commonly recognized, China is turning to the strongest and most influential country globally. In the foreseeable future, we will as usual continue to act as a Hong Kong local trader and will keep our focus in the business with our China partners, especially for those in Southern China.   On the other hand, we are pleased to announce that the reunited Chemical･Plastic Department and Lifestyle Department in our organization last year have been working in shape. With the supports from our staff and partners, we will strengthen our commodity business such as Chemical & Plastic, Machinery and Textile. And more effort would be taken positively in the fields in food and environmental infrastructure.   We will strive to gain a more prosperous growth as a new general trading company and the gateway of Mainland China in the 21st century.   We would be most grateful to receive your continuous supports in the future.   HIROTAKA YONEDA CHAIRMAN & MANAGING DIRECTOR
