Tosoh Corporation
evolved from humble beginnings in 1935 as a domestic producer of caustic soda and soda ash in Japan.

As a result, the Group’s customers include the semiconductor, pharmaceutical, health care and food, and many other industries that produce items used daily.  The Tosoh Group comprises 140 companies and more than 50 of those firms are located outside Japan.  Together, Group companies employ a multiethnic workforce of over 10,000 people and generate net sales of approximately US$6.6 billion.
