コタニ化学工業 Company Overview

A manufacturer of water-based agents that adds new value to fibers and non-woven fabrics.

In 1965 (Showa 40), we started our business as "IST Chemical Research Institute" in a small factory in Ohno-shiba, Sakai City. We launched hit products such as friction fastness enhancers and gloss agents for pile fabrics, and after constructing and relocating to a new factory in the current coastal industrial area in 1977 (Showa 52), we established an environment that allowed us to focus on "manufacturing." This led to a rapid expansion of our sales channels both domestically and internationally, marking a significant turning point for us. Currently, we continue to sell our products through local agents in almost all domestic textile production areas and in many countries, primarily in Asia. We have also developed and manufactured a wide range of products, from surfactants and finishing agents for textile processing to special functional chemicals, expanding our offerings beyond textile dyeing to non-woven fabrics, paper, water-based paints, cleaning products, and household goods. We do not say "No" to customer requests. We will continue to challenge ourselves through "manufacturing," carrying forward the spirit of "thinking together and creating together" that has been passed down since our founding.
