Leveraging our global network,
we will connect suppliers to customers.
The Toray Group has built a network spanning the entire globe. The Toray Resin Division has production plants and technical centers around the world and is expanding its business globally. In addition to Toray, it has connections to producers of materials within Japan and overseas. By fully leveraging Toray International’s network, we will act as a bridge to provide our customers with high-quality, advanced and optimal solutions.
Characteristics and Strengths
Toray International’s greatest strength lies in its ability to utilize the Toray Group's global network to not only provide customers with materials, but to also provide a supply chain that includes forming and processing manufacturers, as well as logistical functions. We offer solutions to our customers by acting as a bridge connecting them to materials manufacturers from both Toray and other companies.
What we can do
We can leverage Toray's purchasing power on a global basis
We are progressively bolstering our purchasing power by expanding the volume of not only resin products such as monomers and polymers, but also fibers, films, carbon fiber-related products and much more. Making full use of our buying power, we will make optimal procurements so we can always provide customers with the best.
We can utilize Toray's logistical functions. Stock operations are also possible
We utilize the global networks of both the Toray Group and Toray International. We offer logistics functions that leverage global distribution, locally optimized material recommendations, stock operation support and other solutions to meet our customers' needs. Not only do we comply with any and all regulations for chemical products around the world, we also provide safe and reliable products to our customers.
We have an extensive lineup of not only Toray products but also non-Toray product variations
We primarily offer Toray and Toray Group products such as ABS, nylon, PBT, PPS, carbon fiber-filled resin, PP and other foams, CFRP processed products, TPE resin and more. In addition to Toray-related resin products, we also procure POM, PP, PS, PET-G and other materials from manufacturers in Japan and overseas. We suggest and offer each product to our customers.
We carry a rich assortment of sustainable materials
We offer Toray bio materials (ABS resin, nylon resin) and chemical material recycled materials (ABS resin, nylon resin, PBT resin). We also procure material recycled materials such as PP and PS from manufacturers in Japan and overseas, and offer and provide them to our customers. We support customers’ decarbonization and recycling businesses.
Main Products
Resin raw materials
ABS resin (TOYOLAC™)
