Japanese processor of platinum-group metals into crucibles, sputtering targets and industrial components for glass, chemical and chip plants.
Japanese processor of platinum-group metals into crucibles, sputtering targets and industrial components for glass, chemical and chip plants.
Makes high-temperature parts from platinum and rhodium alloys that wear out and are replaced over time, so repeat orders and recycling of worn parts support the business. Glass-fibre makers are the main buyers, so demand follows their furnace builds and replacements.
In one line: A niche precious-metals fabricator serving heavy industry.
Moat: narrow (process know-how, customer qualification). Precision fabrication of platinum-group alloys for high-temperature use is a specialized, qualification-heavy skill.
Headquarters: Kyoto, Japan · Founded: 1917 · Employees: 457
