NAGASE at a Glance
We Are Business Designers
The NAGASE Group began as a specialized sales agent securing exclusive contracts to sell industry-leading products from around the world in Japan. This enabled us to acquire leading-edge technology and information gathering expertise-as well as our global network-to transform our business into a hybrid model offering superior manufacturing, processing, and R&D functions as well as trading company services. We will continue tackling new challenges as a Business Designer as we look ahead toward 2032-our 200th anniversary-and beyond.

Beautiful chemical reactions for you to enjoy
Discover a new lipstick color,
and feel your heart flutter.
Change to a lighter, chic pair of eyeglasses,
and feel your spirit lighten.
Purchase a new smartphone,
and it feels like new relationships will form...
Few are aware of how hard chemicals work
to realize these joys for you.
Beauty products, eyeglasses, smartphone or PC screens, automotive parts;
most things around you are chemical compounds. In other words,
they have been created by "chemical reactions."
As a next-generation chemicals trading firm,
we are deeply involved in the creation
of these life-enhancing products and experiences.
We identify, develop, and expand
chemical reactions with infinite potential,
so 1+1 can equal 100 or even 1,000.
NAGASE, enriching your everyday life.
For the View that Never Seen Before
Take a different path than usual.
That one step
Could connect you to a new view
You've never seen.
The path to a sustainable society is the same.
New steps are necessary,
Unfettered by the past.
NAGASE will
Go beyond the limitations of "chemicals" or "a trading company,"
Freely combining
Infinite possibilities from its
Wide-ranging knowledge and experience,
Global network,
Manufacturing, and biotechnology,
To identify, develop and expand
Previously unknown approaches
To create a sustainable world where people live with peace of mind.
Go off the beaten path,
Get a new perspective, and start running again.
Keep facing new challenges
To see a new world.
Let's challenge ourselves. Precedents need not apply.
The moment we're experiencing now
is a future we'd thought still far away.
The map of things to come
updates at incredible speed.
like a video on fast-forward.
Our world is hurtling toward an era
in which the accomplishments of the past
no longer define what we're able to do next.
As the future zips from one change to another
the NAGASE Group is here to answer its call.
That's who we are and who we'll always be.
We seek the challenges yet unknown,
to help finding solutions.
We collaborate with partners to create new value
and realize a sustainable society together.
We ride the tides of time
and grab hold of the future,
while not being swept away by change.
That's why NAGASE
goes beyond chemicals and trading.
We transcend boundaries
using our unhampered approach,
along with our cutting-edge technology,
knowledge, experience, and global network
to design bold new businesses.
At NAGASE, we're always aiming high
to bring the world to a future like never before.
Listen to the voices of the future.
The future does not suddenly appear.
As everyone's hopes and desires slowly take shape,
The world becomes different from what it was before.
That is why we are always carefully listening.
Half a year, ten years, fifty years in the future.
Sometimes, to voices from the even more distant future...
With a strong foundation in the chemical industry,
In order to respond to future desires,
The NAGASE Group Has been boldly expanding our business.
For example, pursuing the ideal model as a trading company
In an age of digital transformation,
Or using Al to discover materials humanity has yet to see.
We have also expanded into the field of sports nutrition
To support new lifestyles.
Exceed our past self.
The NAGASE Group, without being restrained by the past,
Or setting artificial limits for ourselves,
Will move to a new stage and design the next generation of business.
The me you don't know, is also me.
A colorful lipstick.
A chic pair of eyeglasses.
The vivid, liquid-crystal display for the game on your smartphone.
We deliver the "chemical" materials
That make all of these things possible.
Yet, that is just one page in Nagase's book
as an expert next-generation trading company in the chemical industry.
Dietary supplements to help you stay well.
Sports drinks on your way home from the gym.
Providing the ingredients
for these health-supporting "foods" worldwide is another of our strong business strength.
Nagase will continue to identify, develop, and expand
chemical reactions in the field of "materials"
so 1+1 can equal 100 or even 1,000.
NAGASE, enriching your everyday life.
