Challenges and changes in creating a sustainable society

Dainichiseika Group has returned to the basics of creating new value and contributing to society for our sustainable growth and is actively pursuing R&D activities to become a chemical manufacturer that co-creates new value with its customers and creates a comfortable and sustainable society by strengthening its business foundation to respond quickly to the changing economic environment.

In order to embody the missions of our current medium-term management plan, “Leverage our technological capabilities in niche markets so we can continue contributing to society” and “Work on finding solutions and create new value for a sustainable society,” we have been working on “Secure a competitive advantage through technology initiatives” since the previous medium-term management plan.

To achieve this, the R&D Structure underwent a reorganization in April 2025. Its mission is clear: to strengthen development capabilities for next-generation materials and products through open innovation and similar initiatives, and to rapidly create new businesses.
This reorganization also involved revising existing R&D themes, shifting from a structure organized by technology to one organized by development stage. For product development, it created an organization integrated with the technology departments in the Business Structure.

The R&D Structure will unite to achieve rapid commercialization of materials and products by committing to challenge and changes for new products and businesses.
