Kanto Denka Kogyo was founded in 1938 as a joint venture by Asahi Denka Kogyo K.K. (now ADEKA Corporation), Furukawa Electric Co., Ltd., and Kanto Suiryoku Denki Kogyo K.K., and began producing metallic magnesium and caustic soda at the Shibukawa Plant. After World War II, we transitioned to the civilian sector, shifting our main focus to soda electrolysis products. Since then, we have been involved in manufacturing and selling chlorine- and hydrogen-based products as well as organic products.
In 1965, the Mizushima Plant was built in Kurashiki City, Okayama Prefecture, marking the start of our operation with two plants.
In 1970, we developed the first hydrofluoric acid electrolysis technology in Japan. Since then, we have been producing insulation gases and special gases for semiconductors and FPD. In 1979, we were the first in the world to commercialize magnetic alloy powder MAP for metal tape, and we also introduced ferrochemicals like copier carriers.
Currently, we have entered the battery materials, information-related, pharmaceutical, and agricultural sectors, leveraging our fluorine-related technologies. We are focusing on developing new products to become an innovative, development-driven company that contributes to a sustainable society.

Since the first hydrofluoric acid electrolysis technology was introduced in Japan in 1970, research and manufacturing have worked together to build knowledge, and now we have the capacity for efficient production of high-purity fluorine gas. We create a diverse range of fluorine gases by reacting high-purity fluorine with various raw materials.
Fluorine has tremendous potential. Through persistent research, we have developed products such as battery materials, flat panel displays (FPDs), and intermediates for pharmaceutical and medical applications.
