Shigeji Asahi founded Asahi Iron Works in Northern Ward, Nagoya City in 1938. In 2018, we celebrated our 80th anniversary and created this memorial logo.
It is used a variety of colors at “0” of this logo which have been used in our history of 80 years, and these various color combinations express the model and shape we pursue, that is “WA”.
“WA” means peace, harmony, set, Japanese mind, and so on. We will be committed to the color and shape, and we would like to express gratitude to our customers, employees, community and the countries that we have plants.
