Konoshima Chemical Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Osaka; Representative Director and President: Akira Nunokawa; hereinafter "Konoshima Chemical") has walked a path of over 100 years since its founding in 1917. For the next 100 years, our major goal is to respond to societal needs and enhance sustainability through our products and their manufacturing processes.
To achieve this goal, we have revised our corporate philosophy as follows:
"Contributing more broadly and deeply to society through the exploration of materials."
To pursue this corporate philosophy, we have newly established the management policy, "We will grasp the broad needs of society, deeply refine our technology, and create a sustainable Earth," and have commenced our activities. A major initiative within this is the manufacturing of environmentally friendly building materials and chemical products through the "KONOSHIMA CO2 RECYCLE PRODUCTION SYSTEM" and the market introduction of "KONOSHIMA CO2 RECYCLE PRODUCTS" generated from it.
As a symbol of these corporate activities that significantly contribute to the realization of sustainability, a new corporate symbol mark has been created.
The three spheres, reminiscent of molecular structures, in the form of liquid droplets, signify our origin of extracting materials from seawater. Furthermore, they represent the history of developing our current three businesses with the strength of free-thinking creativity. The liquid droplet shape and three-dimensional expression also suggest the possibilities of new businesses to be created in the future.
The blue used in the symbol mark symbolizes Konoshima Chemical's technology, and green symbolizes the global environment. The gradation from blue to green expresses how our technology protects and nurtures the global environment.
The "SiMA" in the KONOSiMA logo is a term in earth science indicating one of the Earth's crusts, a coinage created from the initial letters of its constituents, Silicon and Magnesium. By intentionally rendering the 'i' of Silicon, a substance deeply familiar to our business, in lowercase and adorning it with an accent color of blue, we express our deep connection to material development.
With this new corporate symbol mark as our banner, we will continue to contribute even more broadly and deeply to society through the exploration of materials.
