Taiheiyo Cement Corporation
 PROFILE
Taiheiyo Cement has laid out a solid foundation in cement and construction materials. The company, formed by the 1998 merger of Chichibu Onoda Cement and Nihon Cement, is Japan's leading cement maker with about 40% of the market. It also makes ready-mix concrete, construction materials, engineering ceramics, and pharmaceuticals. Taiheiyo Cement has recycling activities that include the conversion of sewage sludge from power plants. It also operates real-estate management services in the Tokyo area. More than 90% of Taiheiyo Cement's sales are in Japan. The company's acquisition of a 30% stake in South Korea's largest cement maker, Ssanyong Cement, gives it a foothold in that important market.
