Greetings from the President
HOPE CHEMICAL was founded in 1952 as a specialized manufacturer of disinfectants such as cresol soap solution.
Since then, we have shifted our activities to the development and sale of thickeners and resin crosslinking agents, such as metal soaps and aluminum chelating compounds.
The name of our company contains the wish to become a society where many people can have 'HOPE' in the future" and to grow into a company that can contribute to such a society.
In a rapidly changing social environment, "safe, secure and affluent life" is our unchanging 'HOPE'.
We believe that we have a responsibility to realize such a society.
We would like to contribute to the realization of a better society by seriously addressing the themes surrounding the business environment as a member of society, such as an environment where peers are comfortable working, production with less burden on nature and society, fair and safe procurement, and provision of products that can contribute to customers.
With pride as a manufacturing company that we have held since our founding, we will work on "monodzukuri" foolishly, share problems with customers, and work to solve problems through proposals.
