Global Strategy

Think Global, Act Local

Our global network enabling business development deeply rooted in communities

We aim to become a company that delivers unique technologies and products all over the world, in order to save human lives and resolve social issues. We promote activities deeply rooted in local communities worldwide. We advance transculturation from a global perspective. There is no border in chemistry, and when we do business in foreign lands, we focus on conducting local-based business (Glocal business) by overcoming cultural differences. Our goal is to become a company with a global presence by offering valuable solutions to the world market in a timely manner.

The Best Glocal Kaneka Way

We are promoting the Glocal Kaneka Way to formulate an overall optimal strategy on a core of Global Centers and to pursue local adaptability to optimize local resources.

Moving Key Business Activities Overseas

We are steadily increasing overseas sales by pursuing Kaneka transforms and growth drivers in global markets.
Along with promoting the localization of management, we are boldly appropriating management resources to overseas. We will thoroughly strengthen local activities though borderless R2B activities and by taking a market-out approach to market development in which local trends and the latest needs are captured.

Accelerating Global Development in the Life Sciences

Centering on the life sciences, we are accelerating global development by localizing R2B and open innovation sites, expanding market development sites in areas of demand, promoting business alliances and M&A, and developing optimal sales channels.
