A message from our CEO
Our living and working environments are undergoing rapid changes. Natural and national
borders mean less and less as technological developments accelerate us toward overincreasing globalization. At the same time environmental protection has become a sharedsocial responsibility. These rapid changes are challenging us to respond in a positive anddecisive manner.

chemical products. As we enter new century, it is clear that science, which is the base for a
myriad of technologies, still has much to contribute to enriching the world in which we live.
The mission of Showa Kako is to continue to provide the chemical products the world
demand and to do so in a socially responsible manner. Building on the skills and experience
gained during the past ninety years. Showa Kako will proceed by focusing on the needs ofthis changing era.
Guided by the motto “Caring Attention and Creativity” and by the action slogan “Thinking,then Making Actions” as a coined word internal, Showa Kako strives to be an enterprise thatis “Friendly to People and the Earth”. Using our experience and positive attitude wecontinue to create and introduce new ideas and technologies.

Three technical bases of support for R&D●Organic synthesis
Experience with the manufacture of dyestuffs has established our expertise in organic synthesis, whichforms the core area of our R&D effort. Our experienced researchers make use of heterocyclic and othercompounds to create pharmaceutical intermediates, photosensitive agents, and many other types of finechemical.
●Inorganic synthesis
Working many with Tin, we have been producing metallic compounds, including those based on
Antimony and Titanium. We are focusing on developing applications for these inorganic substances,which are already being used in diverse field, including electronic devices, dielectric materials, plating,and glazes.
●Biotechnology
Using enzymes and microbes, biotechnology is gentle on the environment. Our basic expertise is in
the production of Citric acid. We have successfully found a commercial application for the dregs left overafter fermentation to produce Citric acid: they are used to grow Shiitake and other mushrooms. Using
Tartaric acid for asymmetric synthesis and asymmetric splitting, in active R&D we are currently making
good progress towards EL­grade organic acids with very little metal content,

Multipurpose pilot plants support R&D
To support R&D the company has 4 Multipurpose pilot
plants. Established in 1985 and 1989 the two plants
regularly undergo modification and expansion as thecompany enhances its research capability.
Consideration for safety and the environment
Many and varied raw materials are used by the company.
Among these are numerous compounds, such as Cyanide
salt and Carbon bisulfide, that require great care in handling.
Right from the R&D stage to manufacturing processes thecompany is committed to doing its utmost to ensure thesafety of booth the employees and people who live near thefacilities.

●Expand by sales with “package”
Selling to exiting customers as a package together with other products.

●Sales increase responding to globalization
Not utilizing trading firms but directly. Expand oversea’s business and production
