Representative Director and President, CEO
Koyo Sangyo Co., Ltd.
Koyo Sangyo Co., Ltd. was born in 1958. We started as an adhesive sales company, and since 1969, we have continued
to establish and strengthen the company structure for the research & development and production of newly developed
adhesives, polystyrene foam board (Wood rack panel) processed with pressure–sensitive adhesive(PSA), thermal
insulation materials processed with PSA, sound proof materials, water-based polymer-isocyanate adhesive, and so
forth.
The patent applications for these products exceeded 200 cases, and over 60 patents have been so far registered
in Japan and ten overseas countries. As this result, we have concluded patent and know-how license agreements with
6 leading Japanese companies and with 8 overseas reputable companies in U.S.A., Canada, Australia, New Zealand,
Australia, Indonesia, Germany, and Sweden.
These achievements can be viewed as the result of our continuous efforts on exploiting overseas markets, particularly
since 1976.
Koyo Sangyofs motto is to gthoroughly gather a broad range of information, develop original technology, and
transform that technology into productsh, emphasizing the importance of creative new technology, and the key
issue to realize this motto is the interactive linkage between ga rich accumulation of technologyh and
ginspirationh.
I am convinced that Koyo Sangyo is able to continue to contribute to society and employeefs welfare through our
sublime corporate philosophy and endless effort to attain new creation, and that this will lead Koyo Sangyo to
further development and prosperity.
