Message from the President and CEO
I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has supported our Group along the way.
I assumed the role of Representative Director, President and CEO in April 2026.
Since its founding in 1944, Kureha has upheld its commitment to being a “technology-driven company.” Guided by our spirit of “If it’s nowhere to be found, we’ll create it,” we have contributed to solving societal challenges through the creation of proprietary technologies and their implementation in society, harnessing the power of chemistry.
Our mission goes beyond simply providing materials—we strive to deliver essential value to our customers and society at large.
Our history is also one of continuous challenges and transformations in response to changing environments. Today, the business landscape is evolving at an unprecedented speed and scale, with rising geopolitical risks, unstable supply chains, fluctuations in resource and energy prices, and currency uncertainties.
In such an environment, we believe that our most important responsibility as management is to meet the trust of our stakeholders and enhance corporate value over the long term. To this end, we will continue to strengthen our risk management, promote sustainability-driven management, and build a disciplined business portfolio for future growth.
As we advance these initiatives, I place particular emphasis on three key principles: Growth, Challenge, and Trust.
To achieve “Growth” that meets the expectations of the market and society, we must continue to embrace “Challenge” without fear of change. Underpinning all of this is “Trust,” which we build through quality, safety, compliance, and open dialogue.
Driven by these principles, we will leverage the proprietary technologies we have cultivated over many years to generate solid earnings and competitive strength, evolving into a high-value-added company recognized in global markets. In doing so, we aim to contribute to the realization of a sustainable society and to create value for all our stakeholders.
We sincerely appreciate your continued understanding and support for the Kureha Group.
