Since established in 1918 as the first manufacturer of rayon yarn in Japan, the Teijin Group has continued to promote corporate transformation to this day. We overcame many difficulties to evolve into a synthetic fibers manufacturer. Then, utilizing chemical technologies and expertise developed in step with our fibers business, we continuously challenged to further expand our business and advance into new fields. This continues today under our brand statement “Human Chemistry, Human Solutions” – our promise to society and our customers – as we expand globally in a wide range of businesses including advanced fibers and composites, electric materials and performance polymer products, healthcare, products converting and IT.

The Teijin Group is once again in the midst of significant transformation as it evolves toward a solutions-oriented business model. In an international community where the environment changes rapidly, companies must change continuously to achieve sustainable growth. Accordingly, we are dramatically carrying out forward-looking transformation and growth strategies and bold restructuring initiatives. With the three different business domains of high-performance materials, healthcare and IT, our goal is to become a strong Teijin Group: a unique enterprise that creates new value and business incapable of being emulated. This will be done by integrating the competitive edge and key capabilities in each of these domains. Through creating and providing value in the form of solutions needed by society and markets, we will contribute to “enhancing the quality of life” for people everywhere, as it states in our corporate philosophy.

The Teijin Group is aiming to be a prominent, globally admired corporate group. The pathway to achieve this is not smooth. However, based on our mindset of rising to new challenges, which has been passed down continuously in our corporate DNA since our founding, and on our various strengths in technology and other areas, we will grow together with society and our people, and constantly push forward with corporate reforms, and united as a group.
