UTSU Co., Ltd. is a trading company that specializes in chemicals that was established in 1916. We have shifted from inorganic to organic products along with the changes of the times. Today there is an increase in semiconductor materials and products related to medicine, biotechnology, the environment and life science. Dealing in many different products is an indispensable part of a trading company’s business, but in our view, people are more important. This is our philosophy that we have preserved since the company’s founding. Our goal is to be a chosen company that is chosen by its customers. Be the company chosen the customers and your business partners, and the results will be good. To achieve this, we value people. A critical part of maximizing each employee’s capabilities is ensuring a health work-life balance. We understand each other and support all of our employees. It is safe to say that connections between people represent our corporate culture. More than 100 years have passed since the company’s founding. Since our early years, we have upheld an unchanging philosophy. However, our clients and products have continued to change in line with the social environment. You cannot hang onto old ways of thinking. In times like this, diversity is necessary in all situations. While respecting the company’s history and tradition, we will not be trapped by standard perspectives and we will bring more people who are willing to try new ideas into the company. This is an indispensable part of being a company that is chosen by its customers and partners.
