Four Core Businesses
Ferroalloys
With production locations in Tokushima and Malaysia and proven technology, we provide a stable supply of high-quality manganese ferroalloys to our customers.
We also offer other ferroalloys, and are highly regarded by our customers as the top manufacturer of ferroalloys.
Functional Materials
We produce products that offer both high-performance and high-quality on the strength of our hard-earned metallurgical and powder technologies.
Our functional materials are used in a number of advanced materials, including metal hydride alloys for HVs and cathode materials for the lithium-ion batteries of EVs, thus helping create a sustainable society.
Environment
Our Environment business comprises two businesses to meet the needs of a recycling-based society. In our Environmental Systems business, we aim to protect finite water and other resources by purifying industrial wastewater, providing demineralizers for Ene-Farm household fuel cells, and pure water production equipment for hydrogen stations, and more. In our Melting & Solidification of Incineration Ash business, we use electric furnaces to neutralize incineration ash from municipal solid waste by melting it at high temperatures, and then recycle it as ECOLAROCK (slowly cooled eco-friendly slag).
Electric Power
Our Horomangawa Hydroelectric Power Plants located in the Hidaka region of Hokkaido have been approved for the Japanese government’s Feed-In Tariff (FIT) system for renewable energy, and are a source of stable profits. The Horomangawa River system is located in the rich natural environment of the Mt. Apoi Geopark-a UNESCO Global Geopark-in the town of Samani. We intend to continue contributing to the achievement of carbon neutrality by providing green electricity as we take steps to consider the local natural environment.
