Management Strategy
“Increase in titanium production capacity”
Toho Titanium forecasts annual growth in the titanium market of 5%-10% in the foreseeable future. To cater to future increases in demand for titanium, the Company has embarked on projects to greatly expand its production capacity and enhance production efficiency, including the construction of new manufacturing plants for titanium sponge and titanium ingot.
Wakamatsu Plant: Titanium sponge
Construction of the Wakamatsu Plant in Fukuoka Prefecture completed, and commercial operations began at the new plant in April 2010. In bringing on line the Wakamatsu Plant, the Company's annual production capacity for titanium sponge will grow substantially, from 16,000 tons to 28,000 tons. Our future expansion plans call for an additional 12,000 tons of titanium sponge annual production capacity.
At the Wakamatsu Plant, we will be utilizing facilities and equipment that have high productivity and achieve significant energy savings. The plant will also feature a layout optimized for efficiency among each of the manufacturing processes.

Yahata Plant: Titanium ingot
The Yahata Plant in Fukuoka Prefecture began construction in July 2006, was completed and started commercial operations in April 2008. The new plant greatly bolsters the Company's annual production capacity for titanium ingot from 9,000 tons to 19,000 tons. We are also considering future expansion plans for an additional 10,000 tons of titanium ingot annual production capacity.
