MMC Magazine

Thank you for reading the MMC Magazine Vol.8. In 2020, COVID-19 spread throughout the world and significantly slowed the global economy. It caused us to limit our movement and significantly impacted our work and lifestyles.

Innovation had been rapidly advancing in a great number of important fields over the past few years and from a historical perspective, 2021 will be a turning point in increasing our momentum. With “For People, Society and the Earth” as its corporate philosophy, Mitsubishi Materials Corporation promotes business activities along with our vision to become the leading business group committed to creating a sustainable world through materials innovation by leveraging our unique technologies. With regard to the 3-year mid-term management strategy from 2020 in particular, we have established the goal to contribute to the realization of a prosperous, recyclingoriented and decarbonized society.

With a focus on cemented carbide products, the Metalworking Solutions Business Company aims to be an ideal partner by serving as a global craftsman studio offering outstanding solutions and services to individual customers as it contributes to building an even more affluent society through every aspect of our business activities. Furthermore, we promote the recycling of cemented carbide products and advance the establishment of a recycling-oriented society through the effective use of rare metal tungsten resources. As an essential aspect of our participation in creating a decarbonized society, we aggressively strive to manufacture products without discharging carbon dioxide.
