SAN-ETSU METALS Co., Ltd. is the largest brass rod and brass wire supplier in
Japan. We are not only a material supplier but also a manufacturer of brass products using
our own brass materials. We forge and machine at our precision plant and Dalian San-Etsu
Precision Parts Co., Ltd. in Dalian and our products are highly evaluated by our customers.
Also, we now have sales bases in Taiwan, Shanghai, Dalian and Shenzhen establishing a firm
ground and presence as a top brand of Japan-made brass products in China. CK SAN-ETSU Co.,
Ltd. is a non-operating holding company listed on the stock exchanges of the Nagoya Stock
Exchange, and the mother company of SAN-ETSU METALS.
Our technical capability has a reputation for its quality. The “BZ series”,
our new and revolutionary alloy with no use of lead and cadmium, is truly environmentally
friendly and widely applied to the products in electronic, electric and automotive
industries.
There are clear reasons for being the top maker of the industry. SAN-ETSU
METALS was established in December of 1937 and was previously called San-Etsu Metals
Industry Co., Ltd. (the precursor of Takaoka Office). In 1984, San-Etsu Metals Industry Co.,
Ltd. merged with Hokuriku Kinzoku Co., Ltd. (the precursor of Tonami Office) and became
SAN-ETSU METALS. Also in April of 2000, Sumitomo Metal Mining co., Ltd. transferred their
brass wire business to SAN-ETSU METALS. Furthermore, in October of 2007, all business of
Shin Nitto Kinzoku Co., Ltd. was transferred to SAN-ETSU METALS. In summary, SAN-ETSU METALS
Co., Ltd. is a leading company build though the integration of major four companies of brass
rod and wire.
Continuously into the future, we will take an advantage of occupying the top
share in Japan and maximize the benefit from economies of scale, while making our very best
effort into improving our state-of-the-art technology and being a company which can gather
customer expectations, fulfill those expectations, and go beyond the expectations.
