Creating the Future through Restructuring: Siko Group Launches New Company 'Mirai Siko Co., Ltd.'

Siko Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Osaka, President: Tadaomi Shiraishi, hereinafter 'Siko') has launched a new company, 'Mirai Siko Co., Ltd.' (Location: Habikino, Osaka), effective April 1, 2026, by merging its group company, Polytie Chemical Co., Ltd., with Marukura Kasei Co., Ltd. This restructuring aims to achieve both sustainable growth and stable supply in the shrinking packaging materials market by integrating management resources to build a stronger business foundation. Siko Group has traditionally operated in the B2B sector, focusing on industrial packaging materials. However, to respond to environmental changes such as the shrinking domestic market and increasingly sophisticated customer needs, the company determined that a more efficient and flexible operational structure was necessary. Through this merger, the company aims to improve production efficiency by integrating manufacturing functions, strengthen product proposal capabilities, and stabilize supply systems through cross-company human resource exchange. In addition to deepening existing markets, the company will pursue the development of new applications and markets. The new name, 'Mirai Siko,' was selected from names submitted by employees as part of the group's anniversary celebrations. It embodies the desire to be a company that continues to create new value while passing on the packaging technology cultivated over more than 75 years to the next generation. The company will continue to take on future-oriented challenges to realize the group's vision: 'A stress-free world created through packaging—easy to use, easy to clean up, and easy to produce.'
