In the Commodity Chemicals Division, we primarily trade chemical commodities such as raw materials for plastics and synthetic fibers, methanol, chemical fertilizers, inorganic raw materials, industrial salts and caustic soda. We also make investments to reinforce and complement these transactions.





We are maintaining our focus on trading, the primary source of our profits, and seeking to optimize the value chain of each product by producing basic chemical products in locations where the raw materials are cost competitive.



In the Commodity Chemicals Division, we will look to strengthen our trading and logistics capabilities. At the same time, we will actively develop our businesses, chiefly through upstream investments in resources and raw materials and through investments based on alliances with prominent manufacturers.
