Mineral Resources and Energy Overview

Sumitomo Corporation of America's (SCOA) trading activities in non-ferrous metals, petroleum and carbon products span the spectrum from raw materials to finished products, ranging from precious metals to base metals to crude oil. Sumitomo Corporation (SC) operates a global network of resources to identify trade opportunities utilizing sophisticated trading methods.

One of North America's largest non-ferrous metals traders, SCOA specializes in aluminum in an environment of fluctuating currencies and terminal markets.

We are also constantly seeking out the best competitive non-ferrous metal products around the world to introduce to other countries. For example, we ship various U.S. made aluminum applications to South America. We supply titanium sponge to many U.S. titanium products manufacturers. And we provide custom made cryogenic aluminum heat exchangers to major air products companies.

As for raw materials, SCOA serves several American mining companies in exporting their commodities to Japan and other countries. We also support the efforts of these companies, where appropriate, to help ensure stability of supply. SCOA works to supply customers with petroleum and carbon products at the most competitive prices, while at the same time keeping pace with and balancing global market trends, environmental issues and special market demands. This balancing act is made easier with our extensive experience in petroleum-related industries.

As we work to become an integrated supplier of energy resources, developing supply sources of clean energy is one of our top priorities. Toward these ends, we have further diversified the supply of high-quality crude oil, petroleum products and liquefied petroleum gas, helping to meet buyers' demands for environmentally friendly products.
