Tateho Chemical Industries started out in the town of Ako, facing the Seto Inland Sea, a place that enjoys a mild climate and that has an abundance of marine resources. Ako has been associated with the salt industry as far back as the Nara Period (600-784 A.D.), and in 1966 Tateho was established as a technical group to carry on with the work undertaken by previous generations and find a use for bittern, the substance left after salt has been separated from seawater, and produce new materials useful to society.

Tateho is providing advanced products to the world; electrofused magnesia, single crystal electrofused magnesia, magnesium oxide and magnesium hydroxide, whisker and ceramics, all developed through our unique crystallization control technology.

Under the slogan of “A development-oriented company leading the world with its unique technologies in harmony with the natural environment”, we will adhere to our environmentally friendly policy, continually strive to improve our unique technologies and make further contributions to industry throughout the world.

All our staff and executives appreciate your previous support and look forward to receiving your continuous advice and encouragement.
