Founded in 1944, Toagosei is known for its production of instant adhesives for B2C applications worldwide. A company that has prided itself on its ability to move with the times, it has traditionally focused on three distinct pillars: manufacturing basic chemical products until the 1960s; petrochemicals after the 1960s; and functional products to the present day.
Company president Mikishi Takamura is on hand to outline some of the group's distinctive products.
"Toagosei manufactures high-purity liquid hydrogen chloride, which is used in the production of semiconductor chips," he explains, highlighting that the performance chemical is currently exported not only to Japan, but also to Asia and the U.S.A.

The firm's SQ series, meanwhile, is a coating material with enhanced resistance to radiation and ultraviolet rays, which helps to extend the service life of equipment, a notable example being the hinomaru, or red circle, on Japanese spacecraft.
With the global focus on the U.N.'s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Toagosei has once again shown its willingness to adapt, and is currently working on a fourth pillar of products mobility-related, energy-related and healthcare-related products - that will enhance the company's environmental credentials.
