Stretching from the banks of the Tonegawa River, the Shibukawa Plant primarily manufactures fluorochemicals and ferrochemicals. To meet burgeoning demand from the IT industry, we produce a line of fine chemicals based on fluorochemicals, including nitrogen trifluoride and tungsten hexafluoride and hexafluoro-1,3-butadiene for the semiconductor and liquid crystal industries. In 2001, we bolstered the main group of ferrochemicals manufactured at the plant with a new production line for reprographic carriers incorporating clean ferrite (EF Ferrite). This is one example of our swift response to changing market needs.
