Indo-Japan partnership expands, JNARDDC and Daiki Aluminium sign MoU for recycling unit

A strategic collaboration has been formed between India's Jawaharlal Nehru Aluminium Research Development and Design Centre (JNARDDC), Nagpur, and Japan's leading aluminium product manufacturer, Daiki Aluminium Industry Company Limited. The collaboration aims to strengthen the Indo-Japanese economic partnership and promote sustainable aluminium production. The two entities formalised their partnership through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed at Daiki Aluminium's headquarters in Osaka, Japan.

The MoU was signed by Goto Kazushi, Senior Managing Director of Daiki Aluminium Industry Company Limited, and Dr Anupam Agnihotri, Director of JNARDDC, with key figures including Fukushima Toshitake, Vice General Manager of Overseas Business Coordination at Daiki, R.N. Chouhan, Head of Department for Downstream and Recycling at JNARDDC, and R. Anil Kumar, a scientist at JNARDDC, in attendance.

This collaboration marks a pivotal moment for both nations, leveraging JNARDDC's robust research and development capabilities alongside Daiki Aluminium's cutting-edge technological advancements. The establishment of a new recycling unit at JNARDDC, Nagpur, is expected to be a cornerstone in promoting innovative approaches to sustainable aluminium production. This initiative aligns seamlessly with JNARDDC's overarching goals and reinforces our unwavering commitment to environmental sustainability while strengthening the economic ties between India and Japan.

Goto Kazushi said, "With the signing of this MoU, we will build on our global partnership and help JNARDDC achieve its sustainable environmental goals. Since its founding in 1922, we have focused on the aluminium recycling business for over 100 years. Through both firms' products, technologies, and services, we will contribute to the realisation of sustainability."
