Expanding into New Business Areas Based on Technologies Developed in Pine Chemicals

Since its founding in 1947, Harima Chemicals Group has grown with its pine chemicals business as its foundation, utilizing rosin obtained from pine trees to create products that are useful in people’s daily lives. This business, which makes use of rosin as a renewable resource, contributes to the realization of a sustainable society.

Building on the unique technological capabilities and research and development expertise that we have developed through pursuing the potential of rosin, we will continue to take on challenges in new business areas while maintaining pine chemicals as our foundation, and aim to further expand our business domains. We will actively work on creating new businesses that will support the next stage of growth and seek to enhance our corporate value on a sustainable basis.

We would like to express our sincere appreciation to all stakeholders, including our business partners, shareholders, local communities, and employees, who have supported our growth. We will continue to balance contributions to society with the enhancement of corporate value and strive to meet your expectations.

Furthermore, through the activities of the Shorai Foundation for Science and Technology, we will continue to contribute to the advancement of science and technology for the next generation.
