Since our founding in 1884, DOWA group has focused on mining and smelting businesses, and we have continuously worked to resolve social issues such as environmental conservation and coexistence with local communities. Our unique "Recycling-Oriented Business Model" plays an important role in DOWA group's efforts to resolve various social issues.
The "Recycling-Oriented Business Model'' combines fields that are directly responsible for resource recycling, such as environmental management & recycling and smelting, and fields that provide materials and technologies to build a recycling-oriented society, such as electronic materials, metal processing, and heat treatment. This is our company's great strength.
We have combined the waste management of our Environmental Management & Recycling Business with the highly efficient metal recovery technology of our Nonferrous Metals Business to form a smelting and recycling complex. We use a variety of processes to recycle large amounts of metal from materials that are no longer of use to society. Moreover, materials that cannot be recycled are incinerated and transported to landfill sites to reduce their environmental impact.
The Electronic Materials Business, the Metal Processing Business, and the Heat Treatment Business develop and manufacture high-value-added materials at the top of niche markets primarily composed of metal. With our abundant knowledge and high technological capabilities in fields such as semiconductors, conductive materials, copper rolled products, and surface heat treatment, we have created products and services with large shares in markets that undergo rapid technological innovation, such as automobiles, smartphones, and solar panels.
The greatest strength of the DOWA Group is its unique recycling-oriented business model that combines its five core businesses. We offer a wide range of products and services, from materials to parts, with a wide range of applications. These products and services are developed by leveraging our unique and advanced technological capabilities, earning us top market shares and high profitability. In addition, by providing products and services to a wide range of markets, we have created a highly diverse and stable profit structure that is less susceptible to trends in any one market.
