en.Wedoany.com Reported - Japan's UACJ Corporation plans to increase its aluminum sheet sales volume to 1.365 million tons this fiscal year, representing a 3.6% increase over the previous period. If achieved, this figure would mark the highest level in the company's history for aluminum sheet sales. The growth momentum is driven by rising global demand for can stock, as well as the recovery in the thick plate market for semiconductor manufacturing equipment.

By product category, planned sales of can stock amount to 947,000 tons, a 5% increase over the previous period. As of 2025, aluminum thick plate in Japan is primarily produced by three companies: UACJ, Kobe Steel, and Nippon Light Metal. Shipments of aluminum thick plate for semiconductor manufacturing equipment have recently shown signs of improvement, and market expectations are gradually strengthening, which also provides support for UACJ's aluminum sheet sales.

In terms of capacity arrangements, TAA (Tri-Arrows Aluminum Inc., UACJ's U.S. subsidiary), which has completed the expansion of its hot rolling line, plans a production volume of 443,000 tons, unchanged from the previous period. Supply support from UATH (UACJ Thailand) is increasing, enhancing the overall supply capability. The fiscal year for Japanese companies typically runs from April 1 to March 31 of the following year. In UACJ's aluminum sheet sales target for this fiscal year, aluminum materials for beer and beverage cans remain the mainstay product.
