President’s message

“We contribute to enriching the lives of people around the world with vulcanized fiber“

We are the only company in Japan that produces vulcanized fiber.
Vulcanized Fiber is a material containing cellulose nanofiber (CNF) and was certified as a Fuji City CNF Brand (sixth phase) in February 2025.
Vulcanized Fiber” is made from natural cellulose such as wood and cotton pulp. It has excellent toughness and electrical insulation properties due to its high-density characteristic. It is used in industrial products such as insulation materials and abrasive disc materials. Recently, Vulcanized Fibre has been recognized as a sustainable alternative to plastics, taking advantage of its biodegradability, and contributing to the SDGs. In recent years, we have also been working with academic institutions to develop new applications for environmentally friendly products and to increase awareness of our products in expanded fields.

As a group company of Hokuetsu Corporation, we are working to achieve the current mid-term plan and the “Group Environmental Target 2030”.

・”Strengthen Safety Competitiveness” so that employees can work safely and healthily
・”Strengthen Environmental competitiveness” by reducing CO2 emissions.
