Through the continuous development of eco-friendly lightweight alloys, we are forging our path as a global leader in the non-ferrous metals industry.
Since our establishment in 1975, we have dedicated ourselves to developing high-strength aluminum alloys. Today, we have evolved into a specialized processor of lightweight non-ferrous metals, including magnesium and aluminum. Our commitment to expansion has led us to establish a strong presence not only domestically but also in international markets such as Vietnam and Hungary. Leveraging this global network, we are actively pursuing opportunities to reach new customers and expand into diverse industries.
Through our global facilities, we have established a complete production system that encompasses casting, extrusion, machining, and surface treatment processes. Through these capabilities, we strive to provide sustainable and cost-effective solutions, becoming an invaluable partner for our customers' growth journey. From structural components for lightweight vehicles to defense and electronic components, and further to high-strength lightweight materials suitable for eco-friendly vehicles and future mobility aircraft, we are committed to continuous technological innovation and quality improvement.
Furthermore, upholding NICE Group's principles of ethical management, autonomous management, and equitable management, we will strive to become a company that delivers value and happiness to all stakeholders, including employees, customers, local communities, and investors.
Moreover, we are dedicated to becoming a global eco-friendly lightweight metal materials company that considers the environment and the future for generations to come.
