Innovation

Aiming to be a Well-being Creation Company
that Solves the Needs of People and the Earth

Toward 2050, we will realize innovation in various areas to contribute to the sustainable development of society.

Our business is supported by our core technologies: polymer technologies for polymerization, modification, and processing accumulated from the development of synthetic fibers; biomedical technology developed from research on pulp wastewater treatment by yeast culture; environmental technology based on polymer technology to purify water and air and to enable disposal and recycling; and advanced analysis & computer simulation technology for supporting research and development.

With these core technologies, we have release high-performance products such as high-transparency polyester optical film, high performance fibers, hollow-fiber membranes for artificial kidneys, enzymes for use in clinical trial reagents, and seawater desalination membranes.

In order to contribute to a sustainable society, we will continue to create sustainable new solutions by integrating and restructuring our core technologies and value chains, digitally integrating technologies, and innovating marketing.
