Resources

Rare metal resource “mineral sand”

Rare metal resource
“mineral sand”

In 1952, we became the first company in Japan to begin handling mineral sand (a general term for sandy minerals such as zircon and titanium ores). We are supplying products from the world’s largest supplier (produced in South Africa), also handle zircon sand, flower, zircon silicate, titanium ore, etc. from Vietnam.

Biomass fuel “wood pellets”

Biomass fuel
“wood pellets”

We supply high-quality “wood pellets” to biomass power plants in Japan. Which generates electricity by burning organic resources. We are also developing new fuels that not only meets customer’s needs but also out of feed-in tariff.

Mineral resources from Vietnam

Mineral resources from Vietnam

We handle various mineral resources including rare metals in Vietnam, which has a geopolitical advantage as a resource-rich country and China free. Additionally, we are leveraging the expertise we have cultivated over the years to consider business investments from upstream to downstream fields.

Advanced Materials

Heat resistant paint

Heat resistant paint

We have a joint venture factory in Thailand with Okitsumo Co., Ltd., a heat-resistant paint manufacturer, and have track record in selling in Vietnamese market like motorcycle engines, mufflers, home appliance parts, and kitchen items such as frying pans. The combination of special silicone resin and inorganic filler provides high heat resistance and a beautiful appearance.

Hydrocarbon cleaning agent

Hydrocarbon cleaning agent

Hydrocarbon-based cleaning agents have excellent cleaning power to metalworking oils. Since it is composed of a single substance, it is safe, easy to dry, and has excellent recycling efficiency through distillation. We have an inventory in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh, available for small quantities with short delivery times.

Ceramic molded products

Ceramic molded products

We handle high-quality Japanese products such as firing jigs for firing electronic parts and ceramic products, protective members for molten aluminum, inclusion filters, and degassing equipment.

Semiconductor materials

Semiconductor materials

We handle raw materials and auxiliary materials with high quality requirements used in semiconductors and HDDs. Using our overseas network, we offer not only Japanese materials but also overseas materials.
