- Firm Commitment to Invoke Chemical Reactions Beyond All the Expectations
In order for the industries of Japan to be victorious in global competition, it will be essential to form partnerships which surpass industry barriers and the boundaries of upstream and downstream positioning. The reason we are facing an impasse at these issues today is that our individual thoughts and views are divided, and that we have no unified“integral”concepts and issues aiming toward a common goal. Being“integral”means reading and understanding each other’s strengths and needs from the viewpoint of what is best for all, responding to them in a flexible manner, and creating synergistic effects.
Our goals at Konishi Chemical are to strive for effective communication, and to translate customer requirements into chemical concepts so they can be well understood . Then, we utilize the distinctive characteristics of closely-related specialized fields such as electronics, opto-electronics, and rheology to bring out and maximize the greatest benefits (plusses) which are advantageous to all involved parties using the power of chemistry, and ultimately offer new possibilities for manufacturing .
This is of course no easy task, but our results are clear and undeniable. We are also actively engaged in capital investments to ensure that our ideas do not simply end on the drawing board without taking form. If this challenge of“+ Chemistry”arouses even a spark of interest in you, our customers, please do not hesitate to contact us. We look forward to speaking with you as a partner dedicated to clearing a path which can reach the farthest limits of potential.
