    Mitsubishi Materials and three other Japanese companies to integrate copper raw material procurement business

    日本JX金属、三菱综合材料、三井金属和丸红四家企业5月28日发布消息称,将整合铜原料采购和产品销售业务。由于竞争加剧,铜业务盈利恶化,几家竞争企业希望通过联手提升采购能力,从而降低成本。除三菱材料外的三家企业已整合业务,成立了合资企业“泛太平洋铜业”(PPC)。三菱材料将加入PPC,力争10月1日完成整合。JX金属、三菱材料和三井金属三家企业将分别在国内拥有的冶炼厂以PPC进口的原料为基础炼铜,冶炼业务不会整合。(界面)
