Message from the President

President and CEO, Yoshihiko Kimoto

We comprehensively meet our customers’ needs through the approach of ‘GAS’.

Since our founding in 1936, we have been meeting the evolving needs for industrial gases, earning the trust and patronage of many clients over more than 80 years. Our “Gas Total Solution,” which encompasses everything from gas production, supply, and analysis to the design, construction, and maintenance of supply systems, has received high praise from various sectors. In particular, we have built a strong track record in the field of specialty gases, including those for semiconductors, LCDs, plasma, electronics, and lighting, backed by our high technical capabilities. In addition to our gas-related business, we are also focusing on the “Chemical Products Business,” which includes industrial chemicals and various solvents, and the “Component Materials Business,” which includes metal parts, fine ceramics, and electronic components. These three divisions form the core of our business domain. We are also actively engaged in environmentally friendly natural gas projects and have been pioneers in obtaining ISO 14001 and ISO 9001 certifications, conducting activities that consider both the environment and quality as a gas dealer in an ecological society. In today’s world, where various economic and social paradigms are shifting, the value of companies, products, and services is not constant. In this context, as a gas expert company, we aim to be highly sensitive to our customers’ needs (sensitivity), think from the customers’ perspective (sense of ownership), and provide timely proposals with our Gas Total Solution (speed). Our goal is to become a company that is truly needed by our customers (favorability). As the “key to distribution” connecting users and manufacturers, we aim to move forward together into the future. This is our goal, albeit ambitious.

President and CEO, Yoshihiko Kimoto

Corporate Values

  • We value our business partners as customers and treat them with respect and gratitude.

    This means recognizing all our business partners as customers, whether they are “manufacturers” or “users.” It includes all companies and individuals related to our company. We never forget our sense of gratitude.

  • We are a company that aims for sustainable development, taking on challenges with both caution and boldness.

    Aiming for sustainable development means striving for growth. If growth stops, it leads to decline. Although the speed of growth is influenced by economic conditions, we will continue to take on challenges with meticulous care and boldness.

  • We are a company that stays ahead of environmental changes and is highly regarded.

    Environmental changes encompass everything around us, including economic and political situations. We use our keen senses to detect what society demands and what it deems unnecessary. As you can see from the characters, the word “好感度” (favorable impression) includes the character for “like” (好き), reflecting our desire to be liked and supported by our customers as a company.
