Our company's predecessor was Amagasaki Textile, founded in 1889. In 1969, after merging with Japan's RAYON under the then company name NICHIBO, we started a new development journey as a comprehensive fiber company "Unijico". We then diversified our business through the extensive application of textile technology, and today, as a manufacturer of functional materials, our company operates polymers, functional materials, fibers, and many other businesses.
This time, we have planned and formulated the long-term vision "G-STEP30" as the goal posture of the Unitika Group. This will be based on the Group's business philosophy of "integrating life with technology and contributing to society" by realizing the three pillars of "safe and secure life", "convenient and comfortable life" and "living in symbiosis with the environment". It is the mission of the group company to ultimately contribute to the SDGs. The goal posture of the long-term vision is to make our company "a company that is always chosen by customers." At the same time, we will achieve our goals by implementing the three G (Growth, Global, and Governance) measures of the new medium-term management plan we planned and formulated.
In addition, I will uphold the spirit of "for the UNITIKA", always take the lead in setting an example, and unite with all employees to achieve a "renewed Unitika" with the goal of sustainable development.
