History[edit]

Founding and establishment[edit]

Before founding his own company in Japan, Mr. Claus Correns started working in China for the Hamburg based Trading Company Siemssen & Co. in 1934 and was later sent to Japan in 1942. [1],[2]


After the capitulation of Japan in World War two and the beginning of the occupation of Japan by  the  Allied Powers, German companies were closed, their property was seized and most German citizens were repatriated, disrupting all German-related business activities in Japan.[2]

Notably, Claus Correns was allowed to remain in Japan and founded C. Correns & Co. on April 1st, 1948 in Tokyo.[1],[2],[3]

C. Correns & Co. was arguably the first German-owned company permitted to do business in Japan after 1945 and through this early start could play an important role in supporting Japan's post-war reconstruction with German products.[1],[3]

Originally established as an open partnership under the name of C. Correns & Co., the firm was officially registered as C. Correns & Co., Ltd. on December 17, 1954. Reflecting the company's evolution, the name was subsequently changed to “Correns Corporation”, 株式会社コーレンス on April 1, 1998.[4],[5]

Financials and business operations[edit]

As of 2022, Correns Corporation employs more than 170 individuals and achieved a turnover of 13,679 million JPY. [4]

Correns is working in a reseller role, acting as a representative and distributor with technical service for its mainly European suppliers.[2]

Such role as a reseller, together with after-sales service, is a recommended entrance for foreign companies to become successful on the Japanese market, as it takes the unique Japanese business culture into consideration.[2],[8],[9],[10]

The company focuses on importing special machinery to Japan across various industries. Some of the business fields are metal forming, glass processing, plastic and rubber processing, packaging, printing, coating technology, mineral and chemical process technology, recycling, construction technology, food and beverage processing technology, and heavy load transportation. [2],[4]

Correns Corporation is also active in the component business to the Japanese market and imports switches, connectors, plugs, sockets, thermostats, fuses, solenoids, electromagnetic actuators, enclosures, control panels, industrial Ethernet equipment, flexible insulation materials and doctor blade steels among others.[2],[4]
