Ever wonder how a company grows over a century? The Sumitomo Osaka Cement factory, right here, tells that story. This factory represents a key piece of Sumitomo Osaka Cement’s extensive history. It’s a testament to their growth and adaptation. The story begins in 1907. The forerunner, Osaka Cement Co., Ltd., was established. They built the Yotsuji factory in 1908. Sumitomo Osaka Cement continued to expand. They merged with Hinode Cement Co., Ltd. in 1925. In 1994, Sumitomo Cement and Osaka Cement merged.
