The Aluminium Metals Department handles aluminium virgin metal, an LME listed product, as well as ingots of various aluminium alloys to meet needs from a diverse range of customers. Stable procurement is achieved through the global network of the Mitsubishi Corporation RtM Group and Mitsubishi Corporation, and we meet a variety of customer needs thanks to a staff well-versed in the market, capable of providing services such as aluminium price hedging functions, and arrangement of transport to the customer's demand location.

Aluminium virgin metal (virgin ingot) is the raw material used to manufacture rolled, extruded, cast, forged, and other aluminium products. It is obtained through electrolysis of alumina refined from bauxite, raising the purity of the resulting aluminium to 99.70% or higher. For customers in Japan and the rest of Asia, we import and sell aluminium virgin metal from aluminium refineries throughout the world including Australia, the Middle East, Russia, and India. We also propose optimal supply sources to meet customer needs for stable supply and high quality in areas such as the aluminium alloy raw material for automobile parts such as aluminium wheels and engine blocks, and the aluminium slabs and billets that are the raw material for rolling and extrusion manufacturing.
