Core technologies of Toyobo

We consider polymer and biotechnology as our core technologies.
Core technologies consist of various elemental technologies, and as these deepen, new technological systems emerge through combination, fusion, and reconstruction, leading to product commercialization.

Creation of innovation through core technologies

In addition to thoroughly strengthening our proprietary core technologies, we will promote the combination and fusion of our technologies, including new technologies through the introduction of external resources. In order to provide solutions demanded by society, the market and customers, we will also utilize our core technologies and create innovations while anticipating changes in the market and marketing methods, as well as changes in digital technologies both within and outside the company.

Three value-provision domains

Technological capability is a source of competitiveness for manufacturers, and by generating sustainable innovation through technology, we can contribute to the sustainable development of society. We position “Advanced Materials,” “Healthcare,” and “Environment & Energy” as three value-provision domains.

• Advanced Materials

  Advanced materials (films, resins) using synthesis and adhesion technologies, and surface treatment and film-forming technologies.

• Healthcare

  Expansion into high value-added areas utilizing spinning, film formation, membrane separation technologies, and bio-manufacturing technologies.

• Environment & Energy

  Recycled raw materials utilizing membrane separation, polymer and film-forming technologies, and fusion technologies of bio × polymer.

Through fusion and reconstruction of core technologies and value chain, and by strengthening marketing functions via integration of technology development with market and customer development and open innovation, we will continue to generate sustainable solutions that serve a constantly changing society.
