Nippon Light Metal Group

Since its establishment, the Nippon Light Metal Group has been Japan's sole fully integrated aluminum manufacturer offering varieties of products ranging from aluminum raw material to fabricated products.
Aluminum has properties that make it a superb industrial material: it is lightweight and has excellent processability, corrosion resistance, thermal conductivity, and recyclability. Nippon Light Metal applies its core strengths - a wealth of knowledge about aluminum and its characteristics and technological capabilities that have been developed over many years - to supply a highly diversified range of products to a number of key industrial sectors, including the automotive, electrical and electronics, information and telecommunication, environment, safety, energy, construction, railroad, and food products industries.
The Group's marketing, development, and manufacturing organizations are to work as one to develop new products and businesses by means of a cross-organizational development system. We are also focusing our efforts on overseas business development to support international expansion of our customers.
