This is an article about Correns Corporation, which is a trading company in Japan for machinery and components.

Founding and establishment
Before founding his own company in Japan, Mr. Claus Correns started working in China for the Hamburg based Trading Company Siemssen & Co. in 1934 and was later sent to Japan in 1942. ,

After the capitulation of Japan in World War two and the beginning of the occupation of Japan by  the  Allied Powers, German companies were closed, their property was seized and most German citizens were repatriated, disrupting all German-related business activities in Japan.

Notably, Claus Correns was allowed to remain in Japan and founded C. Correns & Co. on April 1st, 1948 in Tokyo. , ,

C. Correns & Co. was arguably the first German-owned company permitted to do business in Japan after 1945 and through this early start could play an important role in supporting Japan's post-war reconstruction with German products. ,

Originally established as an open partnership under the name of C. Correns & Co., the firm was officially registered as C. Correns & Co., Ltd. on December 17, 1954. Reflecting the company's evolution, the name was subsequently changed to “Correns Corporation”, 株式会社コーレンス on April 1, 1998. ,
