“Shin” 3-business Collaboration Business Model
Our “Shin” 3-business collaboration business model, with the Smelting & Refining Business at its core: whereby we build a sustainable supply chain via collaboration among these businesses and contribute to the circular economy and carbon-neutral society.
Material Flows
Our business model integrates the three businesses of “Mineral Resources,” “Smelting & Refining,” and “Materials,” to handle everything from securing ore through to manufacturing products that contribute to a low carbon society and recycling. This diagram illustrates the flow of materials within our business model.
Technological Lineage of Sumitomo Metal Mining
The SMM Group started with refining technology known as “Nanban buki,” the first of its kind in Japan, developed by Soga Riemon around 1600. The technical capabilities that have been enhanced throughout the Group’s history are now organically linked in our three businesses of Mineral Resources, Smelting & Refining, and Materials.
