Manufacture's Feature

Otsuka Chemical is a company that transforms the power of materials into KATACHI.
In 1921, the Otsuka Group began manufacturing using "nigari" (bittern) from seawater in Naruto, Tokushima. Since then,products and technologies utilizing nature's bounty have come to be used across a wide range of industrial fields today.
Otsuka Chemical was established in 1950 as a subsidiary of Otsuka Holdings Co.,Ltd., when the organic chemistry division was separated from Otsuka Pharmaceutical Factory. Otsuka Chemical focuses on hydrazine-related business, materials business, and fine business, providing products globally to a wide range of fields including "automotive," "electrical/electronic," "housing," and "medical." With materials at our core, we aim to create innovative products that bring "healthy and prosperous living" to society together with our customers through continuous technological innovation.
