About Us

Bringing the Value
of Japanese Tile
to the World

For more than 50 years, Central Pacific Trading Co. has been operating in Tajimi, Gifu—one of Japan's most renowned tile production regions—as a specialized trading company dedicated exclusively to Japanese-made tiles.
With a mission to share the beauty and craftsmanship of Japanese tiles with the world, we export our products to customers across the globe, including the United States, Australia, Europe, and Asia.

Tajimi City, where our company is based, is widely known as one of Japan's leading tile production centers. Many manufacturers, factories, and skilled craftsmen are concentrated in this region. In addition to our strong local network in Tajimi, we maintain close partnerships with production areas throughout Japan, allowing us to provide high-quality tiles with reliable supply and efficient delivery.

By delivering high-quality Japanese tiles to international markets,
we strive to share Japan's craftsmanship, technical expertise,
and the unique beauty of its tile culture with the world.

What We Do

At Central Pacific Trading Co., our business is centered on bringing the appeal of Japanese tiles to international markets.
In addition to exporting Japanese tile products overseas, we are involved in product development and design tailored to global markets. We also operate other in-house brands that take advantage of our location in one of Japan’s leading tile production regions.
Through these activities, we aim to expand the value and possibilities of Japanese tiles while introducing their beauty and craftsmanship to the world.

Beyond exporting the products we carry, we also work with clients to develop tile products tailored to their specific needs.
