Our parent company Teijin Limited has been one of the world's leading companies in the fibre and yarns sector for 100 years. Together with our Teijin colleagues, we develop new material combinations that offer our customers substantial added value.

Teijin Group Ltd. is a technology-driven global group offering advanced solutions in the fields of environmental value; safety, security and disaster mitigation; and demographic change and increased health consciousness.

Originally established as Japan's first rayon manufacturer in 1918, Teijin has evolved into a unique enterprise encompassing three core business domains:

  • High-performance materials (including aramid, carbon fibers and composites, and also resin and plastic processing, films, polyester fibers and products converting)
