Itochu Metals Represents Vulcanium in Japan
Supplying both titanium mill products and value-added processing should grow Vulcanium’s presence in Japan.
Posted: June 2, 2015
Titanium distributor Vulcanium Metals International, LLC (Northbrook, IL) and Itochu Metals Corporation (Minato-ku,Tokyo) have entered a long-term representation agreement to service the Japanese market.
This strategic relationship will help grow Vulcanium’s presence in Japan by offering Japanese titanium consumers a key source for both titanium mill products and value-added processing opportunities. Sourcing near net shapes without the additional costs associated with excess scrap will benefit titanium customers in both the price and speed of material acquisition.
Jerry St. Clair, the president of Vulcanium, shared, “We are very excited to join forces with such an esteemed company as Itochu. We look forward to our development of a successful titanium business in Japan.”
