Philosophy
Continuing to take on new challenges
as a pioneer of carbon
Found widely throughout the natural world, carbon has been used by humankind since antiquity. The Toyo Tansogroup was one of the first to eye the infinite potential of carbon. Based on the basic philosophy of manufacturing
completely novel products and services, which we have held since our inception, we have taken on the challengeof pursuing unique and innovative carbon products specialized for highly functional fields. Our products andtechnologies are now being used in a variety of fields from domestic spaces to cutting-edge fields such asenvironment, energy, aerospace, and medical care. Despite this widespread use, however, the potential ofcarbon is still largely unknown. By combining it with different materials and exploring other uses, the roles
that carbon plays and the fields in which it is applied are likely to witness further expansion in the future.
As both a pioneer of carbon and a company that is serious and passionate about taking on new
challenges, we aim to be a widely loved firm that is capable of making a wide range of contributions
to society based around the development of new carbon materials. To achieve this goal, we will focus
our unwavering passion on mastering carbon and creating commercial applications of completely
unique materials, and will strive to provide the same high level of quality, price, delivery times, andtechnical service the world over.
With our insatiable appetite for new challenges and commitment to ongoing progress, you
can expect great things from the future of the Toyo Tanso group.

Our corporate slogan encapsulates the spirit of the Toyo Tanso group, which has
been passed down unbroken since our inception.
