Company information
In industrial fields such as plastics, rubber, cosmetics, lubricants, and paints, various additives are used to improve product functionality and processability. Since we began producing high-purity monoglycerides using molecular distillation in Japan in 1959, our company has developed and manufactured a wide range of additives, primarily focusing on polyol fatty acid esters. We not only provide products but also enhance communication with our customers, including technical support, to ensure that the functions of our additives are effectively utilized in their product development. In recent years, there has been a growing demand for safety in industrial applications, and products like these are gaining attention in plastic items such as food packaging materials and toys. Our polyol fatty acid esters are primarily safe products used in the food sector, such as food emulsifiers, and we are actively applying them to industrial fields alongside their expansion into food applications. As awareness of environmental issues increases, we will continue to respond flexibly to customer needs in the industrial sector, challenging ourselves to develop products for a new era with the keywords "safety, security, and environment."
