Showa Denko K.K.
 PROFILE
With broad core businesses, Showa Denko is focusing on core values. Part of Japan's Fuyo group, the company makes petrochemicals (ethylene, propylene), aluminum products (ingots, rods) electronic equipment (hard disks for computers), and inorganic materials (ceramics, carbons). Most sales are in Japan but the company has overseas operations and a joint venture with Netherlands-based Montell and Nippon Petrochemicals to make and market polypropylenes. Recovering from liability suits related to the company's US-made L-tryptophane (a nutritional supplement), the company has established a Responsible Care program to ensure the safety of its products during manufacturing and after distribution to consumers.
