History

The company was established in 1885 with 16 members including the founder, Sasaki Nobuyuki. As Teiko's international trading was dominated by foreigners since the end of the Edo period, it aimed to expanding business owned by Teikonian citizens. By the end of World War II, it became a dominant trading giant in Kaijo and has complete monopoly of operations in the Hakata northern port.

In 1898, Sasaki founded Sasaki Banking Corporation to raise funds for the company's new investments in manufacturing and mining. The company was tapped by the government to exploit the coals mines in the Hashima Island. In 1901, the a new branch under the trading company, Sasaki Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. was created with its shipyards primarily located in Dojimazaki. As part of the nation's demise under the rule of Imperial Japan, Sasaki assets were seized by the Japanese government and its factories reassembled to be dedicated plants for construction ships for the Imperial Japanese Army.

After Teiko's independence in 1946, Sasaki assets were returned to the company and the company was incorporated as Sasaki Industrials Holdings in 1948. In 1981, Sasaki sold Sasaki Banking Corporation to Kaijo Financial Group for a minority stake in the latter. Since then company's portfolio has expanded to include real estate, heavy industries, petroleum and finance. Sasaki Industries is among the oldest companies in the country where the head has always been from the Sasaki family. In 2019, the company is named among the most recognizable Teikonian brand. Sasaki has also been credited for expanding Teikonian products across the globe.
