Nagase & Co., Ltd.
 PROFILE
If the 1990s has brought us "day traders," we could easily call Nagase & Co. a "century-plus trader." Begun in 1832 as a wholesaler of dyestuffs, the company is now a major Japanese trader, developer, and manufacturer of chemical products. Although chemicals, plastics, and related production machinery account for more than 75% of its sales, Nagase also produces and distributes electronics, medical supplies, and health care and beauty products. Nagase maintains a worldwide network of more than 20 major sales and distribution branches in Asia, Europe, and North America, and as many manufacturing facilities. It operates through subsidiaries and alliances with companies such as Eastman Chemical Company and Union Carbide.
