Our Ferro Alloys Department handles Ferro alloys such as ferrochrome. Through good relationships with first-rate supplies inside and outside Japan, this department offers stable supply to customers all over the world.

Stainless steel is a steel alloy made more resistant to corrosion by adding chromium and nickel to the main component, iron.
Taking advantage of its features, stainless steel is used as building materials, in railway cars, and in such familiar items as kitchen units and thermos bottles.
Chromium and nickel are also used in steel for automotive vehicle bearings, in seamless pipes for oil well casings, and in other special steel, playing an important role in materials supporting industry.
The department also responds flexibly to diverse customer needs and helps ensure stable raw material procurement, primarily in the areas of import trading for ferrochrome and so on.
