Summit CRM, Ltd. is a new company founded in April 1, 2005 as a result of the merger of Summit Carbon Trading Co., Ltd., handling carbon raw materials, and Sumisho Reftech Co., Ltd., handling refractory materials. The "CRM" in the company's name stands for Carbon, Refractories and Materials, signifying the new business fields that we wanted to develop. As a supplier of important materials including raw materials to basic industries such as the steel and titanium, automotive, chemical, and cement industries, we procure raw materials globally and supply products all across the world, fulfilling a highly specialized function. As a member of the Sumitomo Corporation Group, and particularly as a subsidiary of its Mineral Resources, Energy, Chemical & Electronics Business Unit, we aim to develop our business from a global perspective, while focusing on regional markets including the Japanese and Asian markets. By promoting active cooperation between veterans with high expertise and young new employees, we aim to actively expand our business not only in existing field but also into new fields and we will grow steadily, but with a sense of urgency as a trading company that can contribute to society.
