Overview

The Osaka Technology Development Center was established in 2011, a center that integrates technical development divisions from market research to product development and industrialization.

It serves as a “place of creation” that integrates the wide range of technologies that Daihachi Chemical has developed over the years to create technologies that will open the way to the next generation.
