SMM is actively exploring for mineral resources at points worldwide – in a quest to secure the resources necessary to forge the future.
SMM applies its state-of-the-art smelting and refining technologies to transform those resources into metals to support society's needs.
Leveraging every metal's unique properties, SMM creates and supplies materials used in many fields.
Taking full advantage of the technologies cultivated in non-ferrous metal businesses, we are engaged in the business of improving the environment, as well as other businesses, including the manufacture and sale of chemical catalysts, etc., and the collection of valuable metals from used catalysts for recycling.
We have three research laboratories, Ichikawa Research Laboratory (Chiba Pref.), Niihama Research Laboratory (Ehime Pref.), and the Batteries Research Laboratory (Ehime Pref.), and have dedicated ourselves to technological development aimed at creating a better future.
