With passion and integrity, we are fully committed to becoming a chemical specialist that will take a global leap forward.

Kanematsu Chemicals Corporation (KCC), which began its history in 1974 as Kanematsu Chemicals Co., Ltd., a 100% subsidiary of Kanematsu Corporation, commemorated its 45th anniversary in October 2019.

In April 2002, taking over part of Kanematsu Corporation’s chemical product business, we made a renewed start under a new corporate name, Kanematsu Chemicals Corporation.

As specialists in chemical product trading, we have continued to challenge ourselves to meet the various needs of our customers inside and outside Japan across a wide-ranging business spectrum, including papermaking, coating/painting, automobiles, housing, electronics, pharmaceuticals and health foods.

Fully dedicated and committed to future growth with passion and integrity in a new era, each member of KCC aims to fulfill his/her social responsibilities, thereby ensuring all stakeholders’ satisfaction.
