BASIC PRINCIPLES
![]()
Maruishi Chemical Trading Company Ltd. was founded in 1918 as a pioneering trading house specialized in chemicals. Maruishi takes pride in the company's 90-year history and tradition. Over the years, Maruishi has steadily developed into a high-performance trading house handling a wide and well-balanced range of products, from fundamental chemicals to synthetic resins, paints, industrial chemicals, pigments and intermediates. Maruishi also serves various customer needs with our advanced expert knowledge and broad-based information collection capabilities. Our basic policy is combining light footwork with solid headwork to provide "info-work"; that is, research-based proposals tailored for each customer. Our corporate culture is characterized by proactive action and sincerity. Our greatest reward comes from the trust that over 3,000 customers afford us. We are also actively expanding our global activities with a new base scheduled to open in Shanghai , joining our sales base in Bangkok, Thailand.
With the firm customer trust acquired over the years, Maruishi, a member of the Sumitomo Chemical Group along with Inabata & Co., Ltd., enjoys a solid foundation. Nevertheless, instead of comfortably sitting on this foundation, Maruishi continues to challenge the unknown, true to our status as the industry's pioneer. In the fields of rubber, rubber chemicals, synthetic resins and paints, for example, Maruishi possesses not only information but also technological expertise, enabling integrated service. This unique service is indicative of Maruishi's willingness to break away from the conventional business model and explore new territories- to be a more reliable company with a stronger presence. Maruishi continues its challenge in the new era.
