Striving to create value together
with partners around the world
As a trading company involved in materials industries,
Metal One focuses on creating new businesses with partners around the world.
We are seeking solutions to social issues such as population decline due
to the aging of society and fewer children, deteriorating infrastructure, and more.
We are also working on the changes that new technologies and values bring,
including digitalization and carbon neutrality.
