The Meaning Behind Our Company Name

「With the aspiration to launch businesses that contribute globally from Asia, grounded in chemical synthesis technology」

 In the period of postwar reconstruction, Japan, despite its limited natural resources, sought to foster industries capable of creating added value by leveraging its position as a trading nation, aiming to develop as a science and technology-driven country.
 The company name "Toyo Gosei Co., Ltd." was adopted in 1961, seven years after its founding, as the business expanded, replacing its former name, Nippon Acetylene Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.
 The term "synthesis" refers to the process of creating a more complex compound "C" through chemical reactions from relatively simple compounds "A" and "B." The current company name reflects Toyo Gosei's desire to create new value through scientific synthesis technologies and to contribute to the world as a leading company from Asia.
 Since then, for more than half a century, Toyo Gosei has continued to grow globally as a company that creates new value from an original and innovative perspective.

Contributing to Society Through Our Business Together with Stakeholders

 Expectations for the chemical industry to create new value are growing worldwide.
 To meet these expectations, we place the highest priority on safe operations and conduct our business with a strong focus on research and development, quality management, and business continuity. Through the creation of value based on new ideas, we aim to contribute to the sustainable development of human civilization.
 With people, creativity, and science and technology at the core of our business, we will contribute to the creation of a future society through the realization of our management philosophy.

 In addition, through its business activities, Toyo Gosei aims to contribute to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
