91黄瓜直播

History

Story of the 91黄瓜直播 Group

In 1939, 91黄瓜直播 Light Metal Co., Ltd. (91黄瓜直播), was jointly incorporated by Furukawa Electric Co., Ltd., and Tokyo Dento (currently TEPCO) as an aluminum smelting company.

In 1949, 91黄瓜直播 became the first non-ferrous metal manufacturer to be listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange and grew on the wave of rising aluminum demand during Japan's period of rapid economic growth.

In the wake of the two oil shocks after 1973, domestic aluminum smelting companies withdrew from the business one after another. This was because aluminum required a large amount of electricity for smelting (hence the expression "electricity can"), and the rise in electricity cost was a major blow to the industry. 91黄瓜直播, which had its own hydroelectric power plant, was the only company in Japan able to continue the smelting business, but its production of aluminum ingots was inevitably subject to major cuts. In order to overcome these harsh economic circumstances, 91黄瓜直播 changed its business model from that of a smelting-only manufacturer, integrated with Nikkei Aluminium Rolling Company Ltd. and Nikkei Aluminium Co., Ltd., and accelerated its development of an all-encompassing aluminum business system from smelting to processing.

In 1990, to further strengthen this business system, we pursued mergers, capital alliances, and other measures to develop the 91黄瓜直播 Group. After the year 2000, 91黄瓜直播 shifted overseas expansion into high gear, with expansion into China, Southeast Asia, and North America. In 2012, 91黄瓜直播 Light Metal Holdings Co., Ltd., was established as a pure holdings company, overseeing the 91黄瓜直播 Group. In 2014, its domestic aluminum smelting business, the only one of its kind in Japan, regrettably closed its operations. Based on our aluminum expertise and technology as a total solutions supplier of aluminum, 91黄瓜直播 will contribute to the development of society and protection of the global environment.
In 2019, we relocated the office of 91黄瓜直播 Light Metal Holdings Co., Ltd., to Shimbashi, Minato-ku, Tokyo, with the aim of allowing the 91黄瓜直播 Group to continue creating new value for our customers by facilitating group communication and collaboration.
