Medium- to Long-Term Vision of Innovation Enabling Materials
 

To create a societacy full of excitement, we will continue to produce innovative chemical materials as the core of Resonac manufacturing, ensuring safety and harmony with the environment. 

Vision for 2030 and Roadmap to Achieve It
 

Achievements to Date Issues Priority Measures for Phase 2 
  • Integrated two business units responsible for organic and polymer business as part of our efforts to optimize business portfolio for growth markets, including advanced semiconductors
  • Consolidated organic and polymer development, technologies, and human resources to promote internal and external co-creation to serve as a foundation supporting our innovation and competitiveness 
  • Currently expanding our operation and productivity improvement activities (citizen development such as RPA*1 and BI*2 tool apps that the production operators themselves have learned and developed) carried out in the Ceramics Business Unit to each of our plants through exchange meetings with other business units 
     
  • *1 Robotic process automation
  • *2 Business intelligence 
  • Creating and accelerating the commercialization of new materials and technologies 
    Accelerating the creation and commercialization of new materials and technologies with high internal and external prospects in growth markets, primarily semiconductors and electronic materials
  • Accelerating the creation and commercialization of new materials and technologies with high internal and external prospects in growth markets, primarily semiconductors and electronic materials
  • Internal and external co-creation through the consolidation of development systems, exploration and deepening of growth fields, and promotion of the creation of materials and technologies for growth markets 
  • Transition toward future-oriented manufacturing in harmony with the environment, local communities, and society 
     
Plans for 2026 

Priority Measures : Strengthening the Technology Platform Function that Contributes to Enhancing Our Competitiveness and Business Growth Capabilities 

  • Enhancing business competitiveness and promoting internal co-creation
    through organizational restructuring of the inorganic business and consolidation
    of development functions 
  • Standardizing and advancing global manufacturing through the establishment of a new production control center for innovative materials
  • Promoting initiatives to create materials and technologies for semiconductors and electronic materials 
  • Creating materials and technologies that contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions related to production activities and reducing customer emissions 

Changing Society: Specific Example
 

High-purity ultra-fine titanium oxide is used as a key material in MLCCs (multi-layered ceramic capacitors) and, through our proprietary synthesis technology, enables MLCCs to be made smaller and lighter while achieving higher capacitance. The miniaturization and higher capacitance of MLCCs support improvements in computing performance in the AI-related market, including servers, which is expected to expand rapidly at a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of 31% from 2023 to 2030. Downsizing an MLCC by one size category reduces its volume by 50% to 80%, thereby reducing the amount of materials used and cutting electricity consumption during MLCC manufacturing by 40% to 50%. In recognition of this social and environmental value, high-purity ultra-fine titanium oxide was certified as a Resonac Pride Product and Service last year. 

Strengthening Market Competitiveness by Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emission with Our Products!
 

At the Goi Plant (Noda) in Japan, we changed the fuel for our rotary regenerative thermal oxidizer from kerosene to city gas in order to reduce Scope 1 emissions. This has reduced CO2 emissions during combustion and also cut fuel consumption by improving combustion efficiency. At the Shiojiri Plant in Japan, we are proceeding with the introduction of an on-site PPA utilizing unused land in order to reduce Scope 2 emissions, with operation scheduled to begin in 2027. We are also working to reduce raw material-derived emissions (Scope 3) at the Tatsuno Plant by using biomass feedstock in unsaturated polyester resin products. Through these initiatives, we will promote reductions in the carbon footprint of our products (CFP), contribute to reducing our customers’ Scope 3 emissions, and strengthen our market competitiveness.
