Since our foundation in 1909, we have operated our business as a chemical materials manufacturer with our company credo "Contribute to the nation and society through industry" and our company mottoes "Quality First, Cost Reduction, and R&D Efforts". During the period of industrial growth and development in the Meiji era (1868-1912), the Company began with the development of Cocoon Unwinding Agent, a chemical agent that efficiently takes silk threads out of silkworms. This technology improved the productivity of spinning and contributed to the establishment of mass production technology in the silk industry. The interface technology that emerged from this development is our core technology and the source of our growth.
Our goal is to become a "Uni-Top" company that is recognized not for its size but for its uniqueness. Our strength lies in our ability to provide materials for a wide range of industrial fields by combining diverse technologies, including surfactants. In recent years, we have been focusing on the development of materials that contribute to digitalization, decarbonization, and the realization of a healthy and circular society. We aim to strengthen our earnings in the four business domains of "Electronics & IT," "Environment & Energy," "Life & Wellness," and "Core Materials." As an R&D-oriented company, we are committed to creating value-added products that meet customer needs.
In April 2025, we launched our five-year medium-term management plan, "SMART 2030 (smart twenty-thirty)". We will create new corporate values, establish a code of conduct, and work to enhance our human resources.
Our vision is to be "a smart chemical partner that solves various issues in society." Under the three keywords of "Uni-Top," "Sustainability," and "Challenge," we will implement a strategy that links the maximization of intangible assets, including human capital, with corporate growth.
We believe that the starting point of a company is, above all, its people. We will emphasize the growth and challenges of our employees and strive to improve their motivation to tackle them. We will transform ourselves into a more profitable company by strengthening our earning power and shifting to a highly profit-generating structure.
Our daily life is surrounded by various social issues such as global warming, depletion of natural resources, and the declining birthrate and aging population. We are committed to pursuing "Chemistry provides a solution" in order to improve the environment, safety, and comfort in our daily lives.
We appreciate your continued understanding and support.
Thank you very much.
