Name change for JX

JX Nippon Mining & Metals Corporation is changing its trade name in English to JX Metals.

The company has used the trade name JX Nippon Mining & Metals Corporation since the launch of the JX Group in 2010.
‘Considering changes in conditions like those mentioned above, the company decided to change its English trade name to reflect its recent business operations and the goal of its long-term vision more appropriately,’ it says, adding it will change the trade names of other group companies in a similar manner.

Big changes

In 2019, the JX Nippon Mining & Metals Group Long-Term Vision 2040 was published, ‘to foster the development of society’s innovation with advanced materials’ by moving from a process industry type to a technology-based firm.
Since then, changes have included increasing production capacity for materials (such as sputtering targets for semiconductors, treated rolled copper foil, and high-functionality copper alloy strips), developing new businesses through collaboration with outside partners, and undertaking major structural reforms in the mineral resources business and smelting and refining business.
