Management Message

ALCONIX contributes to the realization of a sustainable society by creating value through both trading and manufacturing.

Please allow me to express my sincere gratitude for your ongoing support.

Thanks to your gracious encouragement and assistance, we held our 44th General Meeting of Shareholders on June 18 at 10:00 a.m. and are pleased to report its successful conclusion. We extend our sincere thanks to all shareholders who participated in the meeting.

This year is a milestone for the company, marking 45 years since our establishment and 25 years since we carried out our management buyout. Over the years, we have expanded the product lineup we offer in the non-ferrous metals domain as a specialized trading company, while also entering the manufacturing industry through M&A, growing into a corporate group with a consolidated headcount of over 3,200 employees.

In recent years, our external environment has grown increasingly unstable. Recognizing these circumstances, we realized the need for, and have been tirelessly formulating, a long-term value creation narrative we are confident will empower the ALCONIX Group to achieve sustainable growth. These efforts culminated in the announcement of our Long-Term Management Plan 2030 on May 15. Anchoring this plan are our Purpose and Vision, which articulate our ideal future state and the path we intend to follow toward its achievement. Under this plan, we aim to generate ordinary profit of at least ¥15 billion, ROIC of 8% or higher, and a minimum ROE of 12% by FY2031.

In pursuit of these targets, we will maximize value creation by restructuring our business portfolio and ensuring appropriate allocation of management resources. Additionally, we will focus intensively on “hotspots”—points at which promising high-growth areas (“winning strategies”) intersect with value we can provide by leveraging the unique competitive strengths of our corporate group (“solutions”)—while discovering and developing new winning areas and solutions.

The ALCONIX Group has also resolved to facilitate achievement of a recycling-oriented society through the expansion and nationwide rollout of recycling centers. In January of this year, we opened a large-scale recyclable materials processing yard in the city of Kitakyushu, and just last week, we acquired new land in Saitama Prefecture for the establishment of an additional facility. Moving forward, we will continue expanding our network of recycling centers while aiming to become Japan’s largest collector of non-ferrous metal scrap and fulfill our commitment toward establishing a sustainable society.

ALCONIX Group’s products may not reveal their purpose at a glance, but they are embedded throughout society and help enable richer, more fulfilling lives. By leveraging the full strength of our corporate group to deliver the value society demands, we will continue to be a constant, trusted presence across value chains and in society at large: “ALCONIX—‘Al’-ways there, wherever you look.”
