Catalysis & Process Research Laboratory

Refining technologies for making products that deliver value to the world

The core of Mitsui Chemicals is a manufacturer. However fantastic our research outcomes may be, they have no value until we deliver them to customers as products. 

The laboratory has been working for many years to develop and refine the manufacturing technologies needed to achieve this, and it has strongly supported the technical aspects of Mitsui Chemicals’ product development and mass production efforts. 

While continuously enhancing base technologies, such as manufacturing technology and process design, the laboratory uses its advanced analytical technologies and plays its role as a Group-wide technical platform.  Harnessing the extensive knowledge and insights that it has accumulated, the laboratory seeks to accurately solve technical challenges that need to be addressed in the streamlining of the manufacturing of existing products and the creation of new products.
