Message from the President

Since its founding in 1969, our company has been guided by the theme “Creating an Environment that Benefits People and the Future” Through the provision of recycled plastic materials, our mission has always been to support social development and industrial growth.

The world is facing numerous challenges, from global environmental issues to increasingly severe natural disasters. As our industry undergoes rapid transformation, we are entering an era where sustainability must be at the heart of management to create a future where both society and the environment can thrive.

Since our founding, we have been committed to plastic recycling, leveraging the technologies and know-how we’ve developed to offer forward-thinking solutions. While recycled materials often struggle to meet the required quality and supply, our original brand “TOYOTEC,” built on our unique blending and manufacturing expertise, ensures a stable supply of high-quality recycled plastic. Through “TOYOTEC,” we will continue to create value that only Toyo Chemical can provide.

We are committed to an even brighter future, underpinned by a strong business strategy based on our long-term management plan, “OUR VISION 2030.” Our goal is to contribute to solving social issues and work together with you to create a path forward.

As always, we approach reform with “passion” and “enthusiasm” as challengers, and all our employees will unite as ‘Team TOYO’ to meet your expectations.
