Southeast Asia is an important region where our processing bases for plastic compound, our key business, are concentrated. We produce plastic compound products, mainly for the three major fields of electric and electronic products, OA, and automobiles and motorcycles, at 34 bases across 9 countries. We will further cultivate Southeast Asia’s rapidly growing automotive business while focusing on developing new products in the energy, food, and agriculture fields. Within the energy field, we will particularly work on products that reduce environmental impact, mainly those related to recycling and solar power. The growing economy of India is of utmost importance. In addition to existing plastics-related business, we are working on expanding the chemicals and information & electronics areas, with a plan to enhance our workforce and the organization in India.

As part of the sustainability strategy in our medium-term management plan NC2026, we began processing garbage bags containing biomass materials at our manufacturing companies in Japan and overseas, and began selling these to the Japanese market. In Thailand, we launched a resin recycling and processing plant and began sales domestically in the country. We will also utilize the manufacturing functions at a new company launched in Japan to develop plastic of various grades.
We will contribute to building a sustainable society by developing environmentally friendly products while launching sales activities in India, such as those related to solar power generation.
