Thank you for your interest in our website.
We started operation in 1951 applying our unique carbon black manufacturing technology using natural gas produced in Niigata, and since then, have been developing, manufacturing, and selling carbon black for a wide variety of industrial fields and products including automobile parts such as tires, weather strips, wiper blades, anti-vibration rubbers, printing ink, steel, and batteries.
Our carbon black, which is manufactured based on the know-how cultivated after many years of developing racing tires and with advanced reaction control technology, is highly appreciated by many customers since we provide high resistance and durable products, improved design, electrical properties and workability.
We will continue to strive for improvement in order to create customers’ new values since in recent years the need for highly conductive carbon black used in high-performance batteries for EVs (electric vehicles) is increasing.
The most important thing in the management of our company is not only to keep pursuing the creation of new value with our product’s development ability, but to achieve Bridgestone’s mission “Serving Society with Superior Quality”.
To maintain the trust of the society and our customers, we will keep a proactive attitude toward CSR activities under the slogan of “lifestyle support, challenges to make the future more attractive”.
As for our environmental approach, starting with the effective use of by-product gas produced during manufacturing, we enroll in several energy saving strategies, continue developing carbon black for low-rolling resistance tires, strive to reduce the environmental load through modal shift of the whole supply chain from procurement and manufacturing to final products and logistics and tackle other CO2 reduction activities as well, which are global-level environmental issues. We are confident that these will make our corporation sustainable and result in improved customers and social values.
We respect all the employees who support our business activities, aim to be a company where they can work with pride while feeling growth and motivation, and support them by creating a safe, secure and vibrant work environment.
We hope that you get to know Asahi Carbon through our Website.
