News Room 2009 (The former Furukawa-Sky)
New Foil Division Established
November 4, 2009
Furukawa-Sky Aluminum Corp. established a new foil division on November 1.
Recognizing that foil products represent a core business alongside sheet rolling, extrusion, forging, casting and processed products, the Furukawa Sky Group will work in concert to bolster our response to demand for foil in Japan and abroad for use in batteries, IT and other areas in which market growth is expected. At the same time, we intend to soon receive the benefits of synergies through collaboration of Furukawa-Sky and its wholly owned subsidiary Nippon Foil Mfg. Co., Ltd.
Nippon Foil Mfg. will continue to engage in the manufacturing and sale of foil products, and Yasuhide Noguchi, current President and Representative Director of Nippon Foil Mfg., has been designated to serve as Manager of the Foil Division.
