FUJITA GROUP was founded in 1872 brewing and selling soy sauce and miso.
Thereafter, we began selling solid fuels such as firewood, charcoal, briquettes, pea coals, etc. In the late 1950s during the era of the late Kazuo Fujita, we switched industries to propane gas wholesaling and retailing, and fully entered the fuel industry.
Incorporated in 1964, we are still standing tall and strong to this day. We sincerely appreciate all of your long-standing patronage.
