Thank you for visiting our website.
Since our founding in 1937, we have supported essential social infrastructure through our non-ferrous smelting business while contributing to society through the effective use of finite resources. We are currently executing a transformation of our business structure under the Business Revitalization Plan. While restructuring our zinc smelting operations, which have long been our core business, we are redefining our portfolio by positioning lead and silver smelting, metal recycling, and electronic components and advanced materials as our core growth drivers. At the Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders held in June 2026, shareholders approved a change in our corporate name, effective April 1, 2027. The new name, Toho Metalix Co., Ltd., reflects our determination to build on our accumulated smelting technologies and manufacturing expertise while creating new value through resource circulation.
Our Mission is:“Turning finite resources into infinite possibilities.”
As global resource constraints intensify, we recognize our responsibility to contribute to the realization of a sustainable society by advancing resource circulation through our smelting and recycling technologies. We also believe that people are the foundation of all corporate activities. We place the highest priority on safety, foster a workplace where employees take pride in their work, and build an organization where diverse talent can thrive.
In 2027, we will mark the 90th anniversary of our founding. With sincere appreciation to all stakeholders who have supported us, we will continue to embrace change while respecting our heritage and take a decisive step forward toward the next century.We appreciate your continued understanding and support.
