Battery Materials
Aluminum exterior materials, active materials such as cathode and anode materials, conductive materials, and additives that make up automotive secondary batteries are important materials that support the stable supply of lithium-ion batteries and nickel-metal hydride batteries. Through the stable supply of these materials, we will support the production of automotive rechargeable battery manufacturers and automotive OEMs, and will also work with Mitsui & Co. Group to collect scrap from the battery manufacturing process and recycle.

Electric Products and
Heat Radiating ComponentsNowadays, Electronic Products have been used in many fields, and many semiconductors are working in them. However, heat is generated when electric current flows through the semiconductor elements and if heat generation exceeds the allowance, it may cause functional deterioration or failure. Since heat radiating are essential to avoid this, we propose thermal analysis and heat solutions in cooperation with our partners. We design, develop, and provide aluminium and/or copper Heat Radiating Components that meet customer needs.

Rare Metals and
Metal PowdersRare metals’ market is small and their usage amount is small in the world, but Rare Metals are called “industrial vitamins” because they are indispensable for the manufacture of high-tech equipment such as semiconductors, secondary batteries, magnets, and catalysts, which Japan is dominant in.
We handle multiple types of rare metals such as cobalt powder for carbide tools required in the semiconductor productions. In addition, Additive Manufacturing (AM), commonly known as 3D printing technology, is attracting attention as a new molding technology because it can create complex and precise shapes by laminating Metal Powders as raw materials. We also handle Metal Powders for AM and support our customers’ optimal manufacturing by supplying these rare metal materials.
