A LEGACY OF GLOBAL TRADE
The history of international business that began in Kobe in 1968
Andy Muller, a Swiss native, started international pearl trade based in Kobe. Since then, the overseas network and international business experience cultivated for more than half a century has been passed down to the current HINATA Trading. Based on that tradition, we continue to challenge ourselves as a global trading company that delivers excellent Japanese products and services to the world.
