長瀬産業 Company Profile

Contributing to the realization of a safe, secure, and warm society where people can live comfortably!

Nagase & Co., Ltd. was founded in 1832 (the 3rd year of the Tenpo era) in Kyoto as a wholesale dye dealer. In 1900, it began importing synthetic dyes from Basel Chemical Company in Switzerland. Since then, it has accumulated know-how as a technical information trading company. Our company has acquired the ability to research and develop new technologies and products while exploring new markets around the world in collaboration with our customers. At our current research and development base, the Nagase R&D Center, we focus on developing products such as pharmaceutical raw materials with fewer side effects and natural extracts that enhance human physiological activity, while researching fundamental technologies like organic synthesis and biotechnology. By combining the research and development capabilities, manufacturing and processing functions, trading functions, and marketing functions of our group companies, which number around 100 both domestically and internationally, as well as our various bases, we aim to meet customer needs at a high level. This is a characteristic of our group. Moving forward, the Nagase Group will continue to seize business opportunities with customers around the world and provide business solutions.
