TOKYO, July 01 — NIPPON KINZOKU CO., LTD. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President: Yasushi Shimokawa; TOKYO: 5491), a leading manufacturer of cold-rolled stainless steel, today introduced its new “Decorative Stainless Steel Finishes for Exterior Use.” These premium cold-rolled stainless steel strips—extensively used in automotive moldings and telecommunications enclosures—are engineered to help manufacturers eliminate post-processing steps such as polishing and painting, while significantly reducing their environmental footprint.
Product Features and Benefits
NIPPON KINZOKU’s “Decorative Stainless Steel Finishes for Exterior Use” offer a diverse range of aesthetic options and are widely used in automotive exterior trims and housings for smartphones and mobile PCs.
Our core strength is “coil-to-coil” continuous processing, a technology refined through decades of cold-rolling expertise. This enables us to deliver unique designs and consistent quality with high productivity.
Since the decorative finish is integrated directly into the material, the products offer the following strategic advantages:
- Process Simplification: Eliminates the need for secondary polishing, painting, and surface treatments (e.g., anodizing), resulting in higher production yields and lower total costs.
- Reduced Environmental Impact: Minimizes CO₂ emissions by streamlining manufacturing stages. As an “Eco-Product,” this lineup supports the global transition to carbon neutrality by 2050.
