PROFILE |
 |
Nippon Kayaku Company has, of economic necessity, beaten its swords into plowshares. The company began in 1916 as a pioneer in Japan's explosives industry, but it now primarily makes pharmaceuticals (anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory agents, antibiotics, veterinary pharmaceuticals, and food additives), dyes, inflators for automobile airbags, catalysts, epoxy resins, and agricultural chemicals and pesticides. The pharmaceutical business represents some 45% of the company's sales. Nippon Kayaku has six offices, six manufacturing plants, and nine laboratories in Japan, as well as operations in China, Germany, Taiwan, and the US.
