"Creating business with intelligence and wisdom" - that's the heart of Nagase's technology oriented marketing activities.

Founded in 1832 as a Dyestuff wholesaler, Nagase's base has since diversified to include Chemical, Plastics, Electronics and recently Healthcare products. Today the company not only markets raw material and finished products for those industries, but has also earned a high reputation for supply related technologies, information and services.

Furthermore, our worldwide network satisfies customer's needs such as providing market information or searching for manufacturing partners. We also help customers commercialize their tactical ideas. We say'needs meet seeds at Nagase'.

Nagase as a group has a vast range of production subsidiaries. Nagase group manufacturing companies are involved in producing and processing pharmaceutical intermediates, functional polymers, raw materials for electronics applications and plastic products.

Our strength and product development is also demonstrated in our Research and Development Center. Production know-how in combination with our ability to obtain fresh market information is the base for state-of-the-art activities at our center. At present, our research work is centered on Organic Chemistry and Bio Technology, with emphasis on the establishment of 'Chiral Technology', which works on the development of pharmaceutical raw materials with fewer side effects and natural extracts that will enhance the bioactivity of the human body.

In addition, Nagase's Science and Technology Foundation support R&D activities and international exchange of information in the area of Chemistry, Organic Chemistry and Bio Technology. Contributing to the field of Chemistry and furthering our own study - that's Nagase's dream.
