About Fujikura Kasei

A B2B chemical manufacturer contributing to everyday life
in places closer to you than you might realize

At Fujikura Kasei, we primarily provide order-made products tailored to customers’ needs, with a focus on chemical materials and intermediates such as coatings and resins.

Our products are used in a wide range of applications, from visible things such as automotive parts, cosmetic containers, and the outside walls of houses, to hidden areas such as the insides of electronic components.

Because our products are used as parts of other final products, our company name rarely appears in public, but we contribute to everyday life in places closer to you than you might realize.
