ICT business

As industrial structures and business models evolve at an unprecedented pace due to rapid advancements in IoT, big data, AI, and other IT technologies, digitalization is becoming an important issue in the management of every company. The digitalization business will not only make it possible to transform the IT systems of our company and increase the speed at which we build new systems; it will also play a core role in the digitalization of services and other aspects of our business that we need to achieve sustainable growth as the comprehensive chemical company we aspire to become.

Energy business

Since 2014, Taiyo Green Energy, which we originally founded as a management company for our solar power business, has been producing electricity using natural energy and is engaged in electricity sales and provision.
We have advanced the development of floating mega-solar power plants, which do not use land and require little development.
Water-based solar power plants are efficient thanks to the surface of the water, which acts to cool the solar panels. Water-based solar is also beneficial because leasing water sources provides income to the municipalities and farm operators that own those sources.

Cultivation and sales business

To pursue farming methods that enable stable production of high-quality food regardless of environmental conditions, we started with research and production of leafy vegetables in a completely enclosed plant factory that uses all artificial light.

Food service business

One of our initiatives aimed at increasing employee satisfaction was to create "unbelievable" employee cafeterias. Since 2014, we have engaged in the internal planning and development of employee cafeterias at Group companies in Japan.
We focus on high quality, from interior design to food ingredients and contribute to local production, local consumption, and local employment.
Hoping to share popular menu items from our employee cafeteria with people outside the company, we developed the Ekimae Ranzan Shokudo. In 2019, we opened this cafeteria in Ranzan-machi, Saitama Prefecture, which is home to one of our major factories.
In addition to dining, we also regularly sponsor Kodomo-Shokudo (children's cafeteria) to provide pleasant food experiences to lots of children.
