TOKYO, Jun 02 (Pulse News Wire) – Toho Zinc CO.,LTD. (5707.T) announced today that its board of directors has resolved to propose a partial amendment to the company's articles of incorporation at the upcoming 127th Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders scheduled for June 26, 2026.
The proposed changes aim to reflect the company’s strategic shift towards a broader metals portfolio encompassing base, rare, and precious metals, as well as recycling and electronic materials businesses. The company was originally established in 1937 as Nippon Zinc Smelting Co., Ltd., and changed its name to Toho Zinc CO.,LTD. in 1941. In December 2024, Toho Zinc unveiled a restructuring plan that included reorganizing zinc refining operations and transitioning towards a diversified metal business focused on lead and silver, recycling, and functional materials.
Following extensive discussions involving management and employees, the decision was made to rename the company to Toho Metalix Co., Ltd. effective April 1, 2027, to better represent its evolving business scope and commitment to sustainable growth. The amended articles of incorporation will be implemented on the aforementioned date, with the transitional clause being removed thereafter. Key dates for the process include: - June 26, 2026: Scheduled date for the ordinary general meeting to approve the amendments.
- April 1, 2027: Effective date of the name change.
