Ryuichi Katsumura Chairman

Starting a new day

“Good Morning Mr. K. !”
“Good Morning Mr. X and Mrs. Y. !”


“Thank you for your support yesterday.”
“You are welcome. I thank you for your cooperation too.”


How many people will express their thanks to you today !
How often you will reply your appreciation to them.


Probably you don't recognize yourself how important you are, but the people around you quite know it.
Some people talk it to you directly, and others may be shy.
But all of them find something valuable in your presence.
Be confident and try to become better you, so that you can bring more joy to others.


Have a great day !

Nitto Kasei enjoys the largest market share in many industrial segments, thanks to its diverse high-performance, high quality products, born of the company’s solid technological expertise.

Many of Nitto Kasei’s chemical products are unique, designed to fulfill needs of extremely niche market. Our customers often use such products in very small quantities, but the products are essential, since they largely determine the quality and performance of the customers’ finished products. So much so that Nitto Kasei products must demonstrate the highest levels of stable quality and expertise.

We are very fortunate to often be the first company our customers contact for orders, inquiries and advice. On many occasions, we have also answered questions and expressed views on behalf of the industry.

Throughout more than 60 years of our existence, Nitto Kasei has maintained a solid organization of professionals covering technical matters, manufacture and sales, winning customers trust. Our operating system is designed in such a way as to enable multifaceted proposals to customers new needs, as well as active pursuit of deep mutual technical improvement with customers.

Although the scope of our business is rather limited, we continue offering quality products that society seeks while growing customer trust.

For some 40 years, Japan was the world’s second economic power, but this status will soon have to be handed over following the rise of China and other newly emerging countries.

Under such circumstances, we, Nitto Kasei seek to remain active and useful, and so survive amidst world competition by drawing on our strengths as a Japanese company and performing precise, quality work, all the way down to the individual level. To progress in that direction, last year (2009) we adopted the slogan "Nitto Kasei, a company of technology and people" to express our wish to be an organization whose members continue developing and demonstrating high levels of expertise not only in technological research into chemicals, but in all divisions, including manufacturing, quality control, sales, purchasing and clerical work.

Since we are a company of only 150 people, our divisions are multifunctional and complement each other. The Administrative Headquarters of which I am in charge has only five career-track employees and two assistants, who handle the entire spectrum of administrative duties, ranging from general, personnel, labor, tax affairs, accounting and finance, to the management of information systems and affiliated companies. The company charges each employee with heavy responsibility, a rewarding working environment for the highly motivated.

Since developing organo-tin stabilizers for PVC for the first time in Japan, the Company, Nitto Kasei Co., Ltd., has provided various tin compounds for such applications as cross-linking catalysts for resins and glass coating materials, and made major contributions to a broad range of industries from kitchenware manufacturing to the aerospace business. Furthermore, since our development of the world’s first resin for organic silicon-base antifouling ship bottom paint, we have also utilized world class antifouling technology to contribute to environmental protection by reducing fuel consumption by the shipping industry.

While the transformation of society and the business environment is progressing at a faster pace than expected, we have been consistently aiming to be “A Company Creating New Values for Our Customers,” and each of our employees has been working on the aim earnestly with a sense of “Commitment to Our Customers.”

It is our strong determination to continuously and boldly work on new innovations based on our own original technology, which has been cultivated since the foundation of our company, as typified by the application of the Grignard reaction.

Since the Company was founded in 1947, it has engaged in R&D, production and sales of chemical products as its core business, while also trying to develop new business and new markets, and has successfully sustained itself thanks to its many customers and cooperating companies, which have engaged in mutually beneficial business relationships with us.

Even with increasing uncertainty due to a recent drastic change in management circumstances, we will make our utmost efforts to ceaselessly bring out highly demanded products with our outstanding product & technology development capability as our core competence.

On top of the development capability, human resources are another core competence of ours. Each and every employee plays a pivotal role in our company all the more because it is small or medium-sized with only about 180 employees, and, in this context, I firmly believe they are the driving force of our business. So our employees are expected to think spontaneously, use their ingenuity, and try various measures to solve problems, through which process our company aims to grow further together with all our employees.
We at Nitto Kasei Co., Ltd. are deeply grateful for your continued patronage.
