 PROFILE
Founded in 1935 to produce carbide, Nippon Carbide has grown with the times. The company's largest segment, which accounts for about 30% of sales, makes ceramic baseboards and print wiring boards used in games, cell phones, and other electronic products. Nippon Carbide's chemical segment still produces carbide, but also makes basic and fine chemical products (ranging from pharmaceuticals to pesticides). Its resins segment makes melamine resins (used in melamine tableware), resins used in glue, and heat-resistant resins (used in pipes). Another segment makes wrapping film and reflective sheets used on traffic signs and road markers. Nippon Carbide is a member of the Asahi Glass group.
