The “Plastics” in our company name are synthetic, or artificially made, resins. Natural resins are formed when tree sap solidifies—major examples include pine resin and urushi lacquer. Plastics were developed thanks to significant advances in chemical engineering that led to the synthesis of resin from petrochemicals.

DIC Plastics, Inc., is a member of the DIC Group led by chemical manufacturer DIC Corporation. DIC Corporation’s vision is “Color & Comfort.” For nearly 50 years, we have supplied industrial and safety helmets and other safety equipment, sealed and logistics containers, gardening and agricultural tools, temporary equipment for construction, events, etc., and, in recent years, physicochemical devices and devices for diagnostic agents. Although these products may appear different, we have established our business on the shared platform of plastic molding and processing technology to overcome a number of diverse challenges.

We are committed to responding to society’s ever-changing needs, delivering products that reflect our customers’ needs rapidly and with integrity. We will focus further on our internal and external communications to create new value for our customers and fulfil our role as a partner.

In recent years, we have faced challenges such as marine plastic pollution, where improper disposal results in environmental degradation. Our products can be seen as a means of sequestering CO2 for a period of time by carefully and conscientiously using limited petroleum resources. In recent years, we are being called upon to examine our attitudes and ingenuity relating to plastics. To contribute to the increasingly important circular economy, we will continue to engage in research on materials and development and improvement of technologies.

Our goals include doing our part for the safety, security, health, and comfort of everyone’s lives and being an indispensable presence for our customers and for society. For this purpose, we will keep working as a team to provide people- and environment-friendly plastic products.

*Vision of the DIC Group: We improve the human condition by safely delivering color and comfort for sustainable prosperity－Color & Comfort.
