Since its establishment, the NLM 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.
In response to increasingly complex and diverse customer needs, we aim to provide solutions by gathering and concentrating the capabilities of the NLM Group. To that end, 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.
Furthermore, to establish an infrastructure that facilitates our business activities, we are reinforcing our group-wide quality assurance system and developing non-hierarchical organizations and workplaces where all employees can take pride in and responsibility for their work and fully demonstrate their capabilities.
By carrying on development of new applications for aluminum and aluminum materials, the NLM Group is to continue to support customers in wide-ranging industrial sectors and contribute to improving the quality of people's lives and protection of the environment.
