Developing businesses primarily in growth industries in cooperation with strategic partners

In the Performance Chemicals Business Divisions, we develop businesses that serve as bridges between growth industries that are peripheral to the chemical industry. Our main areas of focus are agricultural chemicals, performance materials, and advanced materials. When appropriate, we form strategic alliances with partners to build businesses. We also seek to develop new businesses that enable us to leverage our chemical business strengths.
