"Pioneering the Future of Sustainable Chemical Industry with Iron Catalysts": TSK's Challenge to Break Free from Rare Metal Dependency and Create New Options for Coexistence with the Earth

Our company endorses April Dream, which aims to make April 1st a day to express dreams. This press release is a dream of "TSK Corporation."

With iron, make the future of chemistry gentler.

The dream we, TSK Corporation, envision is a world where the chemical industry has choices that are kinder to both the Earth and people.

Currently, much of the chemical industry relies on rare metal catalysts.

However, challenges such as uneven resource distribution, soaring prices, and environmental impact are growing year by year.

"Can we pass this on to the next generation as it is?"

That question is our origin.

TSK is challenging to create cutting-edge materials by using "iron," which is abundant on Earth, as a catalyst.

Iron is inexpensive, abundant in resources, and easy to handle.

Based on many years of research cultivated at Kyoto University, we have implemented iron catalyst reactions, which were previously considered difficult to control, at an industrial level.

We have expanded its application to various fields such as OLED materials, agricultural inputs, and biomass materials.

OLED Materials

In OLED materials, we aim for manufacturing that does not depend on rare metals, while achieving both high performance and cost competitiveness.

Agricultural Sector

In the agricultural sector, we are delivering materials that enhance crop power, using unused biomass as raw material.

All of these are connected to our desire to increase "chemistry that can be continued without strain" in society.

Our April Dream is to create a future where iron catalysts are not a special technology but a "standard option."

Instead of competing for resources,

Industry grows by utilizing what is already on Earth.

Believing in that future,

We continue to face iron today.
