The goal for the precious metals division is to become the number one refiner in Asia, and efforts are being made to expand the recovery and recycling of precious metals and sales of items such as electronic materials and chemical products both in Japan and overseas. The company is determined to reinforce its overseas operation, adding a new subsidiary in Malaysia in addition to subsidiaries in Thailand, the Philippines, Singapore, and China. Plans call for a further expansion of these businesses in conjunction with the predicted medium to long-term growth in electronics-related demand. 

In the environment division, the company will attempt to deal with social environmental issues by utilizing its facilities for the disposal of waste acids and alkali and a nationwide network based on collection and transportation approval system in the reinforcement of business operations adhering to all related legislation covering areas such as the collection of waste matter from the electronics, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries. 

At the production division, which is the core of precious metals and environmental processing, management is both expanding its facilities as needed to meet an increase in volume of raw material recovery and enhancing its refining technology in response to the expanded scope of diversification and precious metal recovery. On this basis and in light of the medium to long-term outlook for precious metal recycling material, the company is engaged in building a more efficient production structure. Matsuda Sangyo is also committed to positive R&D in areas such as the development of plating chemicals that meet the needs of the electronics and other industries. The company is working to gain the trust of the community and its clients by making dedicated efforts to address issues such as the development of appropriate technologies for the disposal of waste liquids, water, and gas and the promotion of reduced energy consumption, with regard to strengthened legislation governing waste products and the need to reduce the burden on the global environment. 

Two increasingly important issues facing the food sector are reinforced legal restrictions concerning chemicals and food additives and the assurance of food safety. Not only is Matsuda Sangyo attempting to distinguish its products by providing safe foodstuffs through the utilization of its accumulated know-how in quality assurance, the company is also involved in the development of new products to meet clients’ needs, and the diversification of its purchasing sources.
