Our Fukaya Works started commercial operations in 1967 as a factory specializing in flat rolled products.

Over the years of producing various kinds of aluminum products, such as thick plate, Body-in-White (BiW) panels, and litho sheets, the factory has grown to become Japan's leading mill and the most highly rated facility of its type worldwide, with advanced technologies and extremely high productivity.
