The Daito Chemix pursuit of original technology began with the development of naphthol, used in making synthetic dyes. Since then, the company organic compound technology has opened up new fields of business in photosensitive agents for blueprints, photographic materials, and printing materials. This range has widened to include photosensitive materials for ultrafine semiconductor processing and pharmaceutical intermediates, the materials that become pharmaceuticals. Our priority is to meet evolving needs quickly and accurately. We are reinforcing our R&D department and integrating sales, development, and production activities so as to achieve more timely commercialization of higher-value products. Applying our creativity to quickly turn original new technologies into widely used products. Because we believe this will become even more important in the future, we are firmly commitment to a level of technological development befitting a leading technology-based company in the field of specialty and fine chemicals.
