Message from
the President

We at Kyokuto Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. are pleased to announce that, as of January 2024, we celebrate the 70th anniversary of our founding. This achievement is thanks to the unwavering support of our stakeholders, for which we are deeply grateful.

Our company was founded in 1955 by my grandfather, Keizo Taguchi. Starting as a small wholesale business in a single six-tatami-mat room with only three employees and one product, my grandfather transported goods himself by handcart from Shibuya to Yokohama. Over the past 70 years, we have grown into a group of four companies with eight locations, offering over 1,000 proprietary products as a manufacturing enterprise.

Since my appointment as president in June 2021, I have introduced a new corporate philosophy: "Creating added value by collaborating with customers through agility and problem-solving capabilities." Guided by the slogan "Number One in Flexibility," we have worked tirelessly to enhance customer satisfaction and improve management practices. In November 2024, we achieved FSSC 22000 certification at our Tokyo factory, establishing an even safer and more reliable manufacturing system.

In today’s society, there is an increasing demand for customized and personalized products and services. The strengths we have cultivated—our ability to handle small-lot, multi-product manufacturing with agility, our broad and deep problem-solving capabilities, and our speed in responding to customer needs—will be even more valuable in the future. We are committed to staying ahead of the times and taking the lead in driving change, while continuing to work with humility and sincerity.

We sincerely ask for your continued support as we move forward together.
