Capturing toll-smelting demand through the spin-off of lead smelting operations

「To achieve the 12th Medium-Term Management Plan (April 2021–March 2024) and the 10-Year Vision (the desired state for 2030), the company is strengthening resource recycling and precious-metal recovery by leveraging the smelting technologies it has developed over many years. To further strengthen its earning power by establishing an organizational structure capable of capturing toll-smelting demand both within and outside the Group, the company reviewed the role of Kakejima Smelting, its main lead smelting plant, and transferred the smelting function of Toho Zinc's lead smelting business to Kakejima Smelting.」
