Founded in 2013 in a merger between Furukawa-Sky Aluminum and Sumitomo Light Metal Industries, both over century-old companies, UACJ Corporation is Japan's leading comprehensive aluminum manufacturer. With the slogan "aluminum lightens the world", the firm supplies clients in Japan and beyond with flat-rolled, foil, cast and forged, extruded and precision-machined aluminum products. They include aluminum cans, automobile parts, electric and electronic components, aviation and aerospace materials, foodstuff packaging, and medical and chemical products.
Outside of Japan, UACJ has bases in Thailand and the United States, having moved to strengthen its international presence following the company's formation. "We're the fourth-largest aluminum rolling company in the world, with about 1.3 million tons of annual output in total in Japan, Thailand and the U.S.," UACJ president Miyuki Ishihara says. "One of the strategic values of our three-location operations is that it allows us to organically and flexibly utilize production capacity to meet market demand. For example, we've exported to customers in the U.S. from Japan and Thailand, as a way of supplementing local production in the States."
Looking to the future, UACJ's goal is to contribute to society by using raw materials to manufacture products that enhance prosperity Mr. Ishihara and sustainability", explains. With this in mind, in 2021 the firm announced a long-term management plan, VISION 2030, which is to focus on three core areas over the next decade.
