Business Segments
The company’s business is organized into three primary segments: Chemical Products Business, Functional Products Business, and Real Estate Leasing Business.
Chemical Products Business
This segment is engaged in the manufacturing and sale of a variety of chemical materials, including chromium products, silica products, and phosphorus products. Chromium products are used in applications such as plating, surface treatment, and refractory materials. Silica products are developed for use in civil engineering and environmental materials. Phosphorus products include high-functionality phosphates and high-purity chemicals for the electronics industry. The company leverages its advanced technology to develop products that meet user needs, including barium products and lithium products with various functional properties.
Functional Products Business
This segment focuses on the manufacturing and sale of advanced materials for electronics, batteries, and organic functional materials. Electronic ceramic materials, such as barium titanate, are developed to meet the demands for miniaturization and high functionality in electronic components, particularly multilayer ceramic capacitors. Battery materials include cathode materials for lithium-ion secondary batteries and materials for small all-solid-state batteries. Circuit materials include metal-coated powders and conductive pastes for anisotropic conductive connections. Organic chemical products include alkylphosphine derivatives, phosphonium salt-based ionic liquids, chiral phosphine ligands for asymmetric reactions, Buchwald ligands for cross-coupling reactions, and quantum dots for life sciences. The company is also engaged in the development of negative thermal expansion materials and CO2 absorption materials.
Real Estate Leasing Business
This segment is responsible for the leasing and management of real estate properties. The company owns and manages rental properties in various locations, including Koriyama City in Fukushima Prefecture and Nishiyodogawa-ku in Osaka City. The company’s real estate leasing business provides stable income and supports the company’s overall financial stability.
Other Businesses
This segment operates other businesses such as the bookstore business. However, these businesses are not included in the reportable segments due to their relatively small scale.
Business Strategy
The company’s research and development strategy are based on the accumulation of technology and know-how, with a focus on providing value to society in the areas of comfort, energy management, and health. The company actively collaborates with university research institutions to develop new businesses through open innovation.
