Message from the President

From non-ferrous metals to a wide range of electronic materials and automotive electronic components.

Our roots trace back to 1978, when we were established as Kanematsu Metal Sales Co., Ltd., following a spin-off from the Non-Ferrous Metals Division of Kanematsu Gosho Ltd. Over the years, we have undergone several organizational transformations, culminating in our rebranding as Kanematsu Advanced Materials Co., Ltd. (KAM) in January 2015. Since then, we have steadily expanded our business.
This January 2025, we are proud to celebrate our 10th anniversary, a milestone made possible thanks to the support of our valued partners.
Now in its second year, our Mid-Term Business Plan, launched in FY2024, continues to drive our growth. Despite a rapidly evolving business landscape, our efforts to build resilience against environmental shifts and establish a sustainable business foundation are beginning to bear fruit. We are now well on track to achieving our final-year goal for the FY2027 period.
Looking ahead, we will accelerate the creation of new business opportunities by leveraging synergies across our core sectors:
・Non-Ferrous Metals Business
・Automotive Components Business
・Advanced Electronics Business
Together with our group company, Kanematsu Kangawa Co., Ltd., we will also integrate:
・Agricultural Packaging Materials Business
・Steel Materials Business
・Electrical & Electronic Materials Business
Through these strategic initiatives, we remain committed to fulfilling our corporate social responsibility, fostering innovation, and continuing to be an indispensable partner to our clients.
