Although Rosen is a chief executive of American nationality, he has not only established his own firm here but pioneered his lines of business in Japan. His business had a formal start in the 50’s when he first im- ported and began operating or leasing American equipment. He was 25 years old at the time his business was launched and had visited Japan sev- eral times. Advice was received from his father—who was in the import /- export business — and from other friends. Bank financing was not easy at first because of (Rosen’s) American na- tionality. He has wisely made no major change in banks in the inter- vening years, preferring to use his original two banks. This was done, he explains, for the primary reason of establishing firm relations and mutual confidence with the banks. In this manner, he has created an excel- lent and smooth working relationship with his selected financial institutions. The company now grosses approxi- mately 5 billion yen annually in ma- chine sales and lease income.
