Toyo Steel

Established in 1969, Toyo Steel has continued for over half a century as the “manufacturing company that supports a bright and safe working & living environment”, with a toolbox as our main product. As a toolbox maker, due to our product strength in uniqueness and differentiation from other products in a market – Toyo Steel has a TOP share (70% share) in the Japanese steel toolbox market. We retain a strong position in a niche market.

Toyo Steel started as a pro-tool industrial product manufacturer. However, we have been evolving in the life-style market as well – because of our uniqueness in design, combined with Japanese craftsmanship. In addition to industrial purpose customers, Toyo Steel has been highly evaluated by an audience with a great aesthetic sense, such as MoMA Design Store (USA/Japan).

Reliable Japanese quality and products are meant to be used for years. Our designs and materials are carefully selected so that you can enjoy a beautiful vintage aesthetic as it ages. Durability and toughness have helped contribute to a more sustainable environment. Our wish is that – through our products, we want to keep creating new value so that we can bring brightness and richness to our environment and people for many years to come.

DREAMS WON’T RUST – Toyo Steel was the first company in the world that successfully developed a technology to make a seamless steel toolbox from a single sheet of steel. Simple, durable, & rugged yet beautiful designed toolbox with “Made in Japan” quality.

Toyo Steel’s products were awarded the “Good Design Award” and “Long Life Design Award” and have been loved for more than half a century. Beyond just an “organiser box”. Toyo Steel’s toolbox has been stored and enfolded in each one of our user’s life stories. Starting from a small box, crafted with care from Japan – your story will start and will grow over the years. We want to be present with each of your life story, and create a rich history together.
