We respond to various needs of the manufacturing industry, especially for chemical products and provide information in response to laws and regulations, environment and ecology as well as supply of products. Rapid and reliable distribution is carried out using our original logistics system that takes advantage of information technology.
Chemical products are goods characterized by their chemical properties and composition, also referred to as chemicals. They generally refer to products that have been given new functions through chemical reactions or processing involving the mixing of multiple materials.
Our daily lives are surrounded by various chemical products. They are widely used not only in everyday consumer goods like clothing, detergents, and cosmetics, but also as components in electrical appliances. Chemical products are also extensively used in automotive parts.
The role of the Chemical Products Division extends beyond merely selling chemical products. We act as a “manufacturing partner,” proposing products from various material manufacturers tailored to our customers’ needs, enabling their production to drive industry forward. We manage appropriate inventory and delivery schedules, ensuring the right materials reach our customers at the right time. At times, we also play a behind-the-scenes role, contributing to new product development. What’s essential here is the ability to listen to our partners and collaboratively determine the optimal direction. Through daily sales activities, we leverage our coordination and proposal skills to perform the work of “coordinating manufacturing for the future.”

We have distribution centers throughout Japan and have established a rapid logistics system using our original information technology network. Needless to say, we value “what is needed, when it is needed, and in the amount needed,” but responding to the request of our clients “safely and reliably” is also important. Each distribution center is fully equipped with a refrigerator, freezer, heated and isothermal warehouse that can control the specified temperature of each product. Moreover, approx. 60% of the members of our sales staff are certified as a chief engineer of poisonous materials or hazardous materials officer, in order to provide safe and secure products.
