Fukushima No.1 Factory
It is located in front of Koriyama Station, in
Fukushima Prefecture Technopolis, which lies to the north
of Tokyo, approximately 1.5 hour by bullet train. This
factory was established in 1917 through acquisition of
a white phosphorus manufacturing factory. Originally,
phosphorus and artificial fertilizers had been produced,
but the site has been renewed to produce barium compounds
and lithium chemicals, with special emphasis on electronic
materials.

Fukushima No.2 Factory
This factory is located in Miharu Town, approximately
30 minutes by car from Fukushima No.1 Factory. It was
first established in 1924 as a power-generating company,
and presently, it produces organic phosphorus compounds
and inorganic phosphorus compounds. Organic phosphorus
compounds are developed on commission, being regarded
as intermediates for medical and agricultural chemicals.

in 1940, as a result of acquisition of a soda sulfate
plant in Osaka. The major products manufactured are silicate
compounds, whose component, glassy silicate, is made from
silicate sand and alkali. High-purity, uniform crystal
size silicate compounds are also manufactured.

Tokuyama Factory
Tokuyama Factory was established in 1971, in midst of
the Tokuyama Industrial Belt. It specializes in manufacturing
of chromic acid compounds, producing various compounds
from chrome ore. These compounds are essential for metal
finishing and tanning agents. Since the production involves
hexavalent chromium, environmental issues are very carefully
considered.
