Research & Development Strengths
To contribute to a sustainable society by combining the power of "chemistry" and "technology" to support people's happy lives.
R&D activities based on our core technologies
The brine electrolysis technology that we have been pursuing as our core technology since our founding was to realize our founding philosophy of all-Japan manufacturing in harmony with Japan's natural environment by combining Japan's abundant water resources, electricity generated by hydroelectric power, and salt, a marine resource.
While we have been exposed to rapid external changes amidst the recent trend of globalization, we will continue to embrace our approach to further advancing this core technology and creating new and unique products as our basic policy for research and development.
In recent years, the chemical manufacturers are required to research and develop products that reduce CO2 emissions or do not emit environmental pollutants.
The development of such products is highly compatible with our core technology based on inorganic chemistry and electrochemistry, and we will incorporate manufacturing methods that take advantage of the realization of green transformation (GX) combined with green chemistry (GC) and DX into our future core technologies.
A three-pronged development strategy aimed at potential markets
We aim to develop a stronger market presence by introducing new products into potential markets. To this end, it is important to take a forward-looking (predictive) approach to development. The most challenging aspect to this approach is how far the development should be forward-looking. It is essential that we keep up with our competitors while also ensuring that our predictions are accurate. It is extremely difficult for the research and development department alone to achieve such accurate predictions, and company-wide development activities will become indispensable.
Therefor we are aiming at a three-pronged development approach through our Research & Development Division, the Sales Division, and the Manufacturing Division. In order to target potential markets, it is not enough to simply identify customer wants and needs, but it is necessary to conduct in-depth marketing that extends to customer insights. For this purpose, it is essential to work closely with the Sales Division, which serves as our customer contact point. It is also important to quickly lead R&D to commercialization so that products are launched at the most appropriate time. For those reasons, we are working to realize seamless commercialization through joint development with the Manufacturing Division.
