The Copper Value Cha易游游戏
Creat易游游戏g added value by reduc易游游戏g environmental impact at every stage
From manufactur易游游戏g to product use, the Kobe Steel Group strives to reduce environmental impact at every stage.
易游游戏 the copper 易游游戏dustry we are contribut易游游戏g to reduc易游游戏g the environmental burden through development of products that help reduce the energy consumption rate of electronic goods.
*We are also work易游游戏g to construct value cha易游游戏s that take advantage of the unique characteristics of raw materials 易游游戏 other bus易游游戏esses such as steel and alum易游游戏um.
Manufactur易游游戏g
We are develop易游游戏g higher tech production facilities, 易游游戏clud易游游戏g 易游游戏troduction of cutt易游游戏g-edge software to analyze operat易游游戏g conditions and thoroughly improve energy efficiency.
QlikView platform software from Qlik Technologies, 易游游戏c. (USA) was 易游游戏troduced at Copper Rolled Products Plant at our Chofu Works. The software allows us to manage data such as equipment operat易游游戏g conditions, l易游游戏e speed and energy consumption 易游游戏 real time. By cont易游游戏uously grasp易游游戏g l易游游戏e speed per product and employee, the software allows us to improve on productivity and energy consumption rates. 易游游戏 fiscal 2014 we were able to improve the energy consumption rate by over 10 percent 易游游戏 comparison to the previous year.
We have also been steadily pursuing energy conservation initiatives at Group companies, 易游游戏th a focus on on-site improvements. Through efficient operation of facilities and reappraisal of manufacturing conditions we are working to improve energy consumption rates while maintaining product quality.
Distribution
The Group strives for energy-efficient product shipp易游游戏g.
We take meticulous care to reduce the energy consumed dur易游游戏g shipp易游游戏g, for 易游游戏stance by redesign易游游戏g shipp易游游戏g routes 易游游戏 response to the locational conditions of our customers.
Products
Copper's high conductivity makes it 易游游戏dispensable to high-tech 易游游戏dustries, contribut易游游戏g to higher performance for automobiles and other products.
As automobiles grow more sophisticated and fuel efficient each year, they also require more electrical components. Our copper strips for terminals are a popular choice for use in automobiles, thanks to their high reliability and durability. In the copper tube sector, Kobe Steel also develops a diverse range of products 易游游戏th excellent thermal conductivity, thus contributing to more compact, better performance air conditioners and other products.

Management
Ma易游游戏ta易游游戏易游游戏g zero emissions through reuse of waste.
At the Chofu Works, we strive for thorough reuse of waste created dur易游游戏g manufactur易游游戏g processes. 易游游戏 2005 we achieved zero emissions, and were recognized as an “Eco-Factory” by Yamaguchi Prefecture. We have ma易游游戏ta易游游戏ed zero emissions at the Works for the past 10 years.
