MESSAGE
Establish a better society through our corporate activities
San Nopco Limited was established in 1966 as a joint venture between Sanyo Chemical
Industries, Ltd. (Japan) whose core strength is in the interface control technology, and
Nopco Chemical Company (USA) whose core strength is in the field of defoamers and
dispersants. After going through a phase of several transitions of the foreign partners, San
Nopco became 100% subsidiary of Sanyo Chemical Industries Ltd. in May 2001.
Taking advantage of our core technologies, such as “DEFOAMER” and “DISPERSANT”,
which were created through the collaboration of our sales, research, and production
activities with accumulated experience since our foundation, we are steadily expanding our
business in the fields of water-based architectural coatings, pulp & paper, and emulsion &
latex. We are also actively pursuing new markets, such as electric materials, eco-friendly
materials and energy segments, by innovating our core technologies further and combining
them with new technologies.
The Company Mission of Sanyo Chemical Industries is “Establish a better society through
our corporate activities”. We also have made it as our Mission from the beginning of our
foundation. We aim to contribute to the solutions on the social & environmental challenges,
and to propose solutions to our customers from the customer’s point of view.
Sanyo Chemical Industries have announced the Medium-Term Management Plan 2030 in
May 2026. As a member of the Sanyo Chemical group, San Nopco will connect the
customers and the chemistry, connect the knowledge and the society, and connect the
people and the future. As the result, we wish to become an “essential company” for the
society, the industry and the customers. All the employees will work together as One Team
to achieve this goal.
We sincerely appreciate your continuous support and guidance.
