The History of JX Metals USA

It was designed to create products used in the electronics material industry. Since then, the demand for high purity metals used to create semiconductors has been on the rise.

To meet this growing demand, a manufacturing plant was opened in Chandler, AZ in 1990. It was designed to serve the semiconductor industry in the U.S. and Europe. Today, JX Nippon Mining & Metals USA,Inc. is the industry-leading producer of sputtering targets worldwide.
