Developing businesses primarily in growth industries in cooperation with strategic partners

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.

Being an industrial solutions provider for global issues with "chemicals as the cutting edge"

Using chemicals as a gateway, the Performance Chemical Business Unit aims to support a stable supply of safe foods, help achieve a sustainable society, and contribute to a bountiful standard of living by developing businesses in a wide range of growth industries.
