Special Feature : Creating New Value through Circulation Vol.3
“Circulating resources for a sustainable future” means...
Creating new “transportation” and “connections.”
Automobiles undergo changes, and so does telecommunication.
That is why materials can be helpful.
Envisioning the future of transportation through manufacturing capabilities
In the era of IoT, home appliances, houses, automobiles, and various other objects are connected to the internet, making it necessary for information communication equipment, including smartphones, to have high-performance capabilities. Mitsubishi Materials’ functional materials and electronic components support this advancement. Speaking of advancement, automobiles are currently undergoing a once-in-a-century transformation. Japan, along with many other countries, has pledged to achieve carbon neutrality, which involves achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions, by 2050. The key to achieving this goal is next-generation electric vehicles, such as hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs),
plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), and battery electric vehicles (BEVs). The market share of these vehicles is rapidly expanding, and it is expected to comprise more than half of the new vehicle sales in Japan by 2030.
Mitsubishi Materials can contribute to the automobile industry by accelerating its advancement with our unique products. For example, a range of thermistor sensors, oxygen-free cop- per for bus bars designed to handle high-current flow, and copper alloys used for compact-sized connector terminals in self-driving systems.
Outside Japan, we work with our group company Luvata, which offers solutions for automobile and other industries, to combine their know-how and our R&D and copper processing capabilities to create value-added products.
Mitsubishi Materials will see this time of transformation as a business opportunity and aim to create “new transportation” with our high-value products and manufacturing capabilities.

Aiming to become an essential contributor to the market’s development
Cutting-edge materials and technology are essential for ensuring safety and comfort in our daily lives. Through years of accumulated technology and know- how, Mitsubishi Materials produces top quality carbide tools by leveraging its strengths in materials and coating technology. These tools are indispensable for machining materials and parts used in automotive, aerospace, and medical industries. In addition, we strengthen the business of recycling tungsten, which is indispensable for carbide tools, by investing in MHT*. Through these ef- forts, Mitsubishi Materials is committed to stably supplying high value-added products to manufacturing frontlines and becoming an essential contributor to the market.
