Actions

Specific Efforts

Key Issue (1) Building Environmentally Conscious Businesses

Utilizing the characteristics of metals to eliminate waste, reuse, and recycle for the future.

Products that are disposed of after being ordered or purchased from AICHI METAL are reused (reused) and become part of new products. By taking advantage of the ability of metals to be reborn not only once, but many times, we are contributing to the realization of a circular economy that recycles resources.

As an example, we have developed and deployed a sustainable material called "HAGANE," a liquid metal that utilizes metal powder and scrap metal, which are by-products of various metal processing. It can be applied only as much as needed in necessary areas while retaining the beauty of traditional metals. These materials combine beauty, functionality, and sustainability, and contribute greatly to effective use of resources and reduction of waste.
Through such recycling of metals, we aim to fulfill our "responsibility to create and use (SDGs 12)," manufacture products in harmony with the global environment, and build a sustainable society.

Key Issue 3: Ensuring quality and improving technical capabilities

Expanding global technology and design expertise in Japan

AICHI METAL is not only acquiring global technologies by partnering with overseas companies, but is also focusing on expanding its business in Japan by combining its existing technologies. For example, in the field of architectural metal products such as "VeroMetal®," we are developing products that combine metalworking and other craftsmanship with overseas design. Other examples include the import and sale of the luxury Italian furniture brand "De Castelli," which disseminates the design of Italian products.

Key Issue 4: Coexistence with Stakeholders

Valuing partnerships and providing products

In order to respond to the needs of our customers, we collaborate with our in-house staff and external parties to provide advanced and well-designed overseas products in addition to architectural products that give shape to any kind of selfishness, through free design of custom-made products. We create valuable products.

Technical education for young people abroad

AICHI METAL provides technical education for volunteer young people from overseas. We will not only pass on our technology to the young people, but also educate them so that they can utilize and expand their skills in their own countries.
