Sumitomo Metal Mining Co., Ltd.
 PROFILE
Sumitomo Metal Mining (SMM) has refined copper since 1691. It still does -- along with gold, nickel, and zinc. To support its smelting and refining operations, SMM develops minerals properties, including Japan's Hishikari gold mine and the US's Morenci copper mine. Metals-related operations account for nearly 60% of SMM's sales. The company also produces electronic materials (30% of sales) that fuel the information age, including semiconductor materials and printed circuit boards. Other operations make lightweight concrete and construct housing. Subsidiary JCO, which made nuclear fuel, lost its license to operate after the worst nuclear accident in Japan's history. SMM is part of the "keiretsu" Sumitomo Group.
