Since its establishment in Japan in 1953, our company has enjoyed steady growth for over
half a century, creating new values in response to customer needs. Our history has been a
tale of constant challenges to create and realize our vision in a ceaselessly changing world.
Even today, the world is changing at a tremendous speed along with the transformation of
the industrial structure.

We are challenging ourselves to create business with new values that will prepare us for the
future. Amidst the difficult environment of a changing society, we will develop our business
around chemicals, steel, electronic components, and renewable energy and continue tackling
challenges for our future.

Going forward, we would greatly appreciate your unwavering support and encouragement.
