Hodogaya Chemical

As a chemical company serving the human society, we will achieve sustainable growth for the next 100 years.

The Hodogaya Chemical Group was founded in 1916 as the first Japanese company to produce caustic soda electrolytically. For more than 100 years since then, we have been serving society through a large variety of products and businesses based on the pioneer spirit of “Hompo Koshi” (the first one to do so in the country) and on the technological strength that we have cultivated over time.

Today, dramatic changes are occurring in our business environment, including the world economic shift to Asia, the continuing evolution of digital technology, and the global spread of major social challenges.

To address these world social challenges through the power of chemistry and help spur sustainable growth, the Hodogaya Chemical Group has put into action the new mid-term management plan “SPEED 25/30” covering fiscal years 2021-2030.
