Hamza International’s total liabilities amount to 11.1 billion yen, and all employees were laid off in April, rendering the company inactive.

Tokyo (Special Correspondent) – Hamza International Company Limited, based in Oyam, Japan, was declared bankrupt by the Utsunomiya District Court on August 7. The court has appointed attorney Sakita Akiko as the bankruptcy trustee.

According to Japanese sources, the company’s total liabilities are approximately 11.1 billion yen. Hamza International used to purchase used cars through auctions in Japan and export them, along with spare parts, to Pakistan and other foreign markets.

According to Japanese business records, Hamza International Company Limited is registered at 942-6 Maku, Oyam City, Tochigi Prefecture, with its primary business being the export and sale of used vehicles. The company’s capital was recorded at 15 million yen, with a workforce of 15 employees.

Available company records list Nadim Hafiz Shahid as the representative director, while Nisar Ahmed is noted as the president and director.

Key suppliers for the company included Arai Auto Auction, USS, and M2, while major buyers included Auto Max LDA and Tokyo Cars CC. Banking relationships for the company’s transactions were recorded with various branches of Mitsui Sumitomo Bank, Mizuho Bank, Tochigi Bank, Gunma Bank, Tsukuba Bank, Ashikaga Bank, and Junko Bank.

During the fiscal year ending in August 2024, the company’s sales were approximately 3.75 billion yen; however, due to increasing competition in foreign markets, the company incurred a loss of about 2.19 billion yen.

Hamza International was established in 2002 in Oyam, Japan, and its business extended to various foreign markets, including Pakistan. The company purchased used vehicles from Japanese auctions and exported them to Pakistan and other countries, with the export of used vehicle parts also being part of its business.

Sources indicate that Hamza International took heavy loans to establish subsidiaries abroad, but the plan did not materialize. By May 2025, payments to financial institutions were overdue, leading to a continuous increase in the company’s financial difficulties.

As the situation worsened, the company laid off all its employees in April 2026, after which its business activities were completely suspended, rendering the company inactive.

Additionally, there have been reports linking Hamza International to Hafiz Shahid Gagh, an advisor to the Prime Minister of Pakistan for Overseas Pakistanis in Japan; however, the available Japanese records list Nadim Hafiz Shahid as the representative director. Therefore, final confirmation of any political or official figure’s ownership or direct affiliation with the company will require relevant official or judicial records.

Following the court’s bankruptcy ruling, legal proceedings regarding the company’s assets and liabilities will proceed under the supervision of attorney Sakita Akiko.
