President's Greetings

Philosophy of NIPPON CARBON ”A company with dreams and technologies to realize a world of love and science”

Since our founding in 1915, Nippon Carbon Group has been a pioneer in the carbon industry field, delivering high value-added products that meet the evolving needs of the times, under the management philosophy of "A company with dreams and technologies to realize a world of love and science”. Nowadays, natural disasters, international conflicts, and other events that affect the business activities of companies are constantly occurring, and companies are required to have the "resilience" to navigate through constant change. We are committed to building a corporate structure that will continue to grow with our "engineering capabilities" cultivated through more than a century of experience in the carbon industry and our "creativity" to create new value without being satisfied with the status quo.

Carbon, the material we specialize in, is one with infinite potential. One of our main products, artificial graphite electrodes, plays a vital role in electric furnaces for steelmaking to melt steel scrap, and this contributes to the recycling of iron resources and also to the reduction of CO2 emissions. Another main product, carbon fiber products and specialty carbon products, contributes to industries such as automobiles, industrial equipment and electronics as a component in semiconductor manufacturing equipment. With the expansion of the digital society, demand for these products is expected to grow further. Additionally, our product portfolio includes anode materials for lithium-ion batteries used in electric vehicles, as well as silicon carbide fibers that enhance the lightweight efficiency and fuel economy of aircraft engines. These and other innovations are at the forefront of our contributions to green transformation (GX) and digital transformation (DX). To remain a company valued by society for the next 10, 20, and even 100 years, we will continue to embrace the challenge of creating a prosperous society and a brighter future through technologies that align with the needs of the times while fostering harmony with people and the environment. To all our valued stakeholders, we pledge to unite our collective strengths and meet your expectations with the utmost commitment.

We sincerely thank you for your continued support and look forward to your unwavering trust and encouragement in the years to come.
