President's Message
President
Masanori Tsujikawa
Our company was established in 1956 as a joint venture between Mitsubishi Chemical Industries (now Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation), Kobe Steel, and Amagasaki Steel (which later merged into Kobe Steel), and later received capital participation from Osaka Gas. We have continued to support the development of the steel industry through our coke business since then.
Our main productsâ -coke for steel-making, fuel gas, and a various chemical productsâ -are not normally used directly by consumers. However, they are the raw materials for myriad products and contribute to peoples' daily lives.
These days, we are aiming to use our knowledge of carbon chemistry and energy chemistry to contribute to society by launching businesses that cater to the changing needs of the times, such as manufacturing electrode materials for electric double-layer capacitors; precision cleaning of semiconductors, FPDs, and solar cell manufacturing equipment; and environmental analyses, materials analyses, and volatile organic compound (VOC) assessments.
We have also adopted "Treat people as assets, treat nature as an asset, and create new value" as our management philosophy. Each and every employee strives to ensure safety in the workplace, be mindful of the environment, and maintain the quality of our products while appreciating the importance of the resources given to us by the earth.
All of us are committed to further refining the technology and teamwork we have cultivated so far, so that we can deliver new value to our customers, shareholders, and local communities who support us.
We look forward to your continued encouragement and support.
