“ALCONIX’s BluePrint” Has Newly Launched!

ALCONIX has launched an owned media.

Have you ever heard of a company called "ALCONIX CORPORATION"? 

ALCONIX was founded in 1981 as a unit within the former Nissho Iwai Corporation Corp. (now Sojitz Corporation Corp.), that handled non-ferrous metals such as aluminum and copper. 

After getting independent in 2001, although we are still a young company, over those 20 years the group's Ordinary profit has grown by approximately 50 times. 

This growth of ours has been achieved thanks to the potential of non-ferrous metals, the manufacturing technology and knowledge that Japan boasts for drawing out that potential, and above all, our “human capital” who creates value by "connecting people, materials, and technology." 

Today, we have developed into a company with a unique business model that combines “sales and distribution” with “manufacturing”. 

However, so many people may have never heard of the name of ALCONIX. 

Unfortunately, our existence itself and what we carry out as our business are not widely recognized yet in the public. 

Through "ALCONIX's BluePrint," we hope to tell as many people as possible, not only information about our management and growth but also the surprising relationship between non-ferrous metals and your daily life, and the passion of our employees working in the fields, so that this will give you a grand view of the future brought about by non-ferrous metals!  Please look forward to it. 

"ALCONIX's BluePrint"; idea inside this title

We named our owned media, with a view to sharing with everyone "Blueprints” for the achievements of “big dreams that our group employees hold.”

While our two enterprises ("sales and distribution" and "manufacturing”,)" have grown separately, we believe that by combining their respective strengths, we will be able to generate the great thrusting power enough for "Drawing the future of our dreams", as our slogan declares. 

Thus, we believe this is a unique strength that only our company can possess. However, because it is a unique entity, it is difficult to see what we try to implement, achieve, and share with the society.  

Industrial blueprints must be understandable enough to allow the viewers to have the same image as designers want them to. We hope that this owned media, like such design drafts, will show you what we regard as our ideal future in a correct, accurate, and easy-to-understand way. 

What We want to tell you

What comes to mind when you hear the term "non-ferrous metals"? 

“Non-ferrous metals" simply means “metals that are not iron nor steel. Many people may imagine gold and silver, but we deal with aluminum, copper, nickel, and various elements known as minor metals and their alloys. 

For example, aluminum is used in various items that are familiar to us all, such as juice cans and aluminum foil. Copper plays a pivotal role as electrical cables. In addition, non-ferrous metals are "critical minerals" that support all aspects of modern civilization, including automobiles, Semiconductors, IT equipment, the aerospace industry, and air conditioning equipment, and are becoming increasingly important as decarbonization progresses. 

In spite of our scarce access to non-ferrous metals in our daily lives, they comprise an essential part of our lives. 

Then what materials are used in what situations? 

We hope that by introducing you to the actual workplace as well as the roles and members of our business divisions, you will become more familiar with non-ferrous metals.  

ALCONIX is expanding globally by leveraging high added value backed by our technological capabilities, but this competitive edge was not achieved overnight. 

It is supported by the tireless efforts and research results of our employees that lie behind the scenes. However, we haven’t had so many opportunities to share their hustle with you all until now.  

We will present to you the true story of the engineers who support "Japan's Manufacturing Industry" - what they are thinking, what attitude they have, and what future they envision.  

Furthermore, We also feel it as our mission to protect the "future of our dream". 

That's why ALCONIX is proactively working on sustainability initiatives as an entire corporate group, then will introduce such activities of ours on this media. 

Please look forward to future "ALCONIX's BluePrint".
