It has been over 100 years* since the development of the material known as “plastic.” Thanks to the ingenuity of our predecessors, this flexible material, which can change its shape, has been used in varied fields, thereby enriching people’s lives and improving the industry’s potential. However, plastic has recently become a potentially hazardous material that could jeopardize the environment, causing issues such as the marine plastic problem arising from its improper disposal. Unfortunately, we must now face the fact that the very existence of plastic could be challenged.

Making full use of DIC Group’s network, we promptly deliver high-quality products that reflect the concerns of our customers as well as technologies that respond to the ever-changing societal demands. It is our mission to create new value for our customers; we are not satisfied by simply providing them with products that meet their existing needs.

We are endeavoring to advance our environmental programs by conducting materials research and technological development that assumes a more sustainable society through circular economy. Much like the plastic we produce, we ourselves are adjusting flexibly and constantly maintaining a challenging spirit. We are determined to continue providing people-friendly and environmentally safe plastic products and become an indispensable part of your life.

*Plastic originated from the birth of phenolic resin, the world’s first synthetic resin, which was developed in 1907.
