Kuraray was founded in 1926 for the purpose of commercializing synthetic rayon, a cutting-edge technology at that time. The Company has continued to expand since then, keeping a focus on fibers and textiles. In 1950, shortly after World WarⅡ, Kuraray was the first in the world to commercialize PVA fiber. It was the first synthetic fiber made in Japan and led the early phase of Japan’s synthetic fiber industry. Since then, Kuraray has continued to expand in the chemical industry based on the proprietary polymer and synthetic chemistry technologies it developed in fibers. Today, the Company operates globally in 31 countries and regions as a Specialty Chemical Company developing, manufacturing, and marketing resins, chemicals, fibers, activated carbon, and other products. Forever grounded in the mission, “For people and the planet—to achieve what no one else can,” we are committed to tireless technological development and market exploration. We continue to embrace the challenge of creating new value to address social issues. 【Main Businesses】 ●Resins and Chemicals Production and sale of PVOH resin and film, PVB resin and film, EVOH resin and film, methacrylic resin, isoprene chemicals, elastomer, polyamide resin, and medical products ●Fibers Production and sale of PVA fiber, man-made leather, nonwoven fabrics, hook-and-loop fasteners, and polyester fibers ●Others Production and sale of activated carbon and high-performance membranes and systems for water treatment
