Plastics and Resin Business
Leveraging the vast quantity of information at our disposal and our network of group companies, we have established a global supply framework for plastic materials, through which we identify and procure the most suitable material to meet our customers’ requirements.
In addition to general-purpose plastics and resin, we also handle film materials and high-performance plastic materials in various countries, covering a wide range of commercial materials of high market demand. This allows us to offer proprietary services to our customers.
We also contribute to the protection of the global environment through the recycling of used bumpers.
Business model
We conduct integrated management of global production and logistics processes.
Based on our track record to date, we also introduce our customers to materials that best meet their needs.
Used bumper recycling
We collect bumpers with defects caused in the car production process and used bumpers from car dealerships, and recycle them for use in the manufacture the raw materials for plastic auto parts.
Through this recycling of resources, we are helping to protect the global environment.
