Overcoming environmental changes, accelerating transformation into a value-adding materials company
Aiming for sustainable growth and enhanced corporate value over the medium to long term
Representative Director, President
Shinji Tanaka
I wish to express my sincere thanks to all shareholders and investors for their support and advice.
We are currently implementing the Fourth Mid-Term Management Plan (FY2024–2027) to realize our long-term management vision, UACJ VISION 2030. Under the slogan “Value, Connect, and Lightens the World,” the Group is working together as a unit to transform itself from a provider of materials into a value-adding materials company during the period of the management plan.
Our business environment has changed significantly and rapidly since the formulation of the Fourth Mid-Term Management Plan. Globally, there are concerns about rising geopolitical risks, soaring raw material prices, and the resulting economic slowdown. Domestically, we face challenges such as persistent inflation and intensifying competition for talent.
Meanwhile, expectations for aluminum, a material with excellent recyclability, continue to grow on a global scale. In Japan, the government’s Basic Policy on Economic and Fiscal Management and Reform 2025 includes references to a circular economy for aluminum, while in Europe and the United States, the shift toward aluminum beverage containers is gaining momentum, drawing renewed attention to the material’s value.
In this environment, during fiscal 2025, we successfully captured global demand for beverage cans, while benefiting from price revisions and the expansion of global scrap processing capacity. As a result, revenue exceeded 1 trillion yen for the first time and business profit reached a record high of 48.2 billion yen. Furthermore, we strengthened our activities in growth areas, for instance by deciding to invest in manufacturing facilities in the field of aerospace and defense.
As the Fourth Mid-Term Management Plan entered its third year in April 2026, we will further accelerate our transformation from a materials supplier into a value-adding materials company, respond appropriately to changing market conditions, and strive for sustainable growth and the enhancement of our corporate value over the medium to long term. We believe in the infinite potential of aluminum. Through technologies that harness the power of materials, we will contribute to the realization of a sustainable and prosperous society, aiming for a brighter world over the next century.
We would like to express our sincere gratitude to our shareholders and investors, and we request their continued guidance and support.
