TOP MESSAGE
We, Taiyo HD Group, are a specialty chemical manufacturer who proudly hold about fifty percent share in the global market for solder resist, a material that is an essential component of the printed wiring boards used in cellular phones, computers, and other IT equipment, as well as digital home electronics, onboard electronic equipment in automobiles and a variety of other electronic devices.
We originated in 1953 as Taiyo Ink Manufacturing Co., Ltd., which manufactured and sold printing ink and other related materials. In 1976 we took a great step forward to shift our business segment to make solder resist as our principal product. It was our confidence in our research and development capability that supported this adventurous transformation.
After half a century, our management philosophy stays unchanged; “Based on its technological capabilities, we will develop and provide products with maximum value.”
However, the world economy is suffering from high unemployment, stagnant growth, and budget deficits, amongst other woes, and there is an ongoing sense of uncertainty regarding future macro trends. Amidst this economic environment, in October 2010, Taiyo Ink made the transition to a holding company system and became Taiyo Holdings Co., Ltd. This change was made with the aim of further enhancing the company's corporate value to achieve future growth and in order to pursue initiatives to accelerate decision making by separating supervisory and executive functions, reinforce group management functions, and promote agile and flexible organizational restructuring.
As always, we will advance into the next era backed by our reliable technological capabilities and ability to anticipate the future. Taiyo HD Group will move forward to live up to your expectations.
