MESSAGE
Vitalize the Earth’s resources and contribute
to the creation of a resource-saving society
We, Showa Metal, are a recycling company dedicated to contributing to a resource-efficient society that aligns with the Sustainable Development Goals. We transform various specialty steels and high-performance alloy scraps, made from rare metals such as nickel, cobalt, titanium, tungsten, and molybdenum, into valuable raw materials for remanufacturing.
Building on the expertise and experience we have developed since our founding, we use advanced sorting and processing technologies to meet the quality standards of our clients, providing solutions for resource reuse and cost reduction.
The scrap materials we handle are reborn as special steels and high-performance alloys, which are used in fields such as aerospace, power generation, petrochemical plants, and automotive manufacturing.
As the Sustainable Development Goals gain global recognition, boosting recycling rates is crucial for driving decarbonization efforts.
As a company specializing in recycling and processing, we are committed to advancing this mission and continually looking toward to the future.
Since 2010, Showa Metal Co., Ltd. has been a subsidiary of Hanwa Co., Ltd., a general trading company. As part of the Hanwa Group, which is listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange’s Prime Market, we play a key role in expanding the group’s metal recycling business. We are dedicated to leveraging Hanwa’s global network and services to deliver even higher-quality services to our clients.
