Name: TOYO TANSO CO., LTD.Foundation: February 11, 1941Capital: 7.8 billion Yen (as of December 31,2017)Business outline1. Production and sale of isotropic graphite, other specialized carbon products and carbon products for general industries and related processing.2. Production and sale of composite materials made from carbon and ceramic, metal or organic materials and related processing.3. Production and sale of carbon electrode for fluorine electrolysis and business of surface treatment on various materials with fluorine gas.Our business is graphite, a type of carbon produced at high temperatures of about 3,000℃. Graphite conducts electricity well because it has an even crystal structure. Graphite has been developed over the years to make it finer and more stable. We were the pioneers in our industry in developing a new material called "isotropic graphite" by cold Isostatic press, the result of many years of research and development. Isotropic graphite resolves many of the problems previously associated with carbon.Our isotropic graphite has the following features: excellent heat and electricity conduction, superb temperature and chemical durability, lightweight and easy to machine, and minimum friction and wear. These characteristics mean it is used in wide range of industries with the highest standards of reliability, most notably for atomic power, electric discharge machining and semi-conductors. Toyo Tanso is a pioneering company and a leader in the global industry. We have recently developed a diverse range of new products. These include functional composite materials, utilizing coating technology for the surfaces of graphite products. We continue on our mission of creating graphite with ever-greater functionality.
