Message from the President

April 2026 saw us embark upon our new Long-term Management Plan: “Evolution 2035.” We have thus set sail on a course which leads ten years into the future and with the following purpose:

“Through Kayaku technologies, Nippon Kayaku will provide Comfort, Prosperity and Inspiration for the future and humanity of our planet.”

“What will the wider world throw at us?” is the question of the moment in these unpredictable and uncertain times. Accordingly, in order to both survive and develop as a company, we must adapt to our business environment and constantly evolve.

Nippon Kayaku operates multiple businesses and possesses a diverse array of technologies with unique characteristics. Our path until now has seen each business utilize its own particular technology to make products delivering value to society. But our future must see us combine such technologies, and harness them to the business assets cultivated to this point, to create businesses able to solve the new social issues of the future.

We believe that companies of the future are tasked with the following mission: to operate businesses that find compatibility between delivering happier and more prosperous lives for the people of the future, and contributing to the environment, and thereby make contributions to all shareholders, investors, customers, employees, the environment and society as a whole.
