Osaka Titanium secures ¥50 bn loan for production expansion

Osaka Titanium Technologies has secured a ¥50 billion two-step loan from the Development Bank of Japan Inc. This financing, finalized on December 26, 2025, is specifically for its "Sponge Titanium Production Capacity Enhancement Plan," which aims to increase production capacity from the current 40,000 tons per year to 50,000 tons per year.

The plan, targeting completion by the end of fiscal year 2027, is recognized by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry as a "Supply Assurance Plan for Specified Critical Materials" under the Act on the Promotion of Economic Security. The total investment for this expansion is approximately ¥330 billion, with a maximum subsidy of approximately ¥80.4 billion, which may fluctuate based on actual investment.

The five-year, unsecured loan facilitates the stable supply of sponge titanium for aircraft, supporting both the company's growth and national economic security. The two-step loan system utilizes long-term, low-interest government financing via financial institutions designated by the prime minister and minister of finance.
