The aluminum industry in Japan
has made a rapid advancement in the
past few years. The production and
demand are second only to the U.S.A.
among free nations. Aluminum is
used in all sorts of ways, old and new,
but its use as household vessels is oldest
and the makers have skill which has
developed from long experience. The
demand in this field has not developed
so rapidly as the demand in other fields
of aluminum product, but it has developed
steadily year after year. Approximately
1,300 tons a month, or
16,000 tons a year, of aluminum
vessels are being consumed, and there
are nearly 70 large and small makers
in this field. The scale of production
is approximately 10 tons to more
than 100 tons a month. |
