"Nature is the greatest scientist"
From the olden times, Nature has been carrying on its operation, giving humankind
a wealth of blessings.
We learn through the dialog with Nature, and return it to Nature. "Co-existence
with Nature" - it is the fundamentals of Chemistry.
The present prosperity of humankind owes much to Chemistry. However, the unknown
world extends infinitely in the Nature.
"With an insatiable spirit of inquiry, we will explore the unknown world,
and contribute to the further prosperity of humankind"
- this is FUSO's corporate philosophy.
"Chemicals for Human Life" -
we put all of our minds into this words.

In pursuit of Speed, Cost and Quality, we will head for the Gold Medal of the
world.
To head for the gold medal of the world does not mean to compete in size of a
company, but to aim to be No. 1 supplier of a certain product in the world market.
To this end, once a development theme is fixed, we have to organize and start
the project on the spot, carry on running day and night, and cross the finish
line sooner than any other competitor, in which the developmental speed, the
cost passable in the world market and the quality clearing the standards of
any foreign countries are important.
We have already won the gold medals for many products. Starting with malic
acid of top share of the world market, acids derived from fruits, such as citric
acid, ultra-high purity colloidal silica, etc. that is a major component of
final finishing polish of silicon wafers of which comprises computer's memory
device.
Utilizing those experiences, pursuing
the world-class speed, cost and quality, and with the combined "concentration
power" of development, production and
sales sectors, we will go for the gold medals for years ahead.

Management resources are generally
said to be "Personnel", "Products" and "Money". However, they are just
a little bit different to us. Our concept toward management
resources is expressed in our apple symbol mark, i.e. "Technology", "Sales",
"Facilities", "Products", "Personnel" and "Information".
Utilization and organic integration of these resources and sharing the goal
of Gold Medal by all employees give rise to the concentrated power, which
creates a gold medal product for next generation.

Key words for the 21st century and approach to them
The key words for the 21st century are "Biotechnology", "Nanotechnology"
and
"Global".
We are going to address biotechnology, nanotechnology and globalization actively,
continue to evolve in the 21st century and play on a wider stage.

•Biotechnology:
We took over the chemical business from Fujisawa Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. in
December 2003.
The continuous fermentation technology will be utilized for the manufacture of
gluconic acid derivatives and other products, and further applied for the development
of new products. We will wrestle with the application development of new products
making use of biotechnology. |
|
|
|
|
|
•Nanotechnology:
Ultra-high purity colloidal silica developed by FUSO's own nanotechnology is
expected to grow further in the semiconductor market where the shift to 300 mm
wafers is rapidly advancing.
We are also addressing the development in new fields including CMP for Cu wiring
to be used for next-generation computers as well as color printers and pharmaceuticals. |

|
|
•Global:
In China, we established the manufacturing, research and quality control organizations
in Qingdao Fuso Refining & Processing Co., Ltd., and newly formed Qingdao
Fuso Second Refining & Processing Co., Ltd. in December 2003.
We are going to promote new product development utilizing their management resources
in China where "Factories for the world" is shifting to "Market for the world".
With the addition of our subsidiary PMP in the United States, we will strive
to expand the market share in the global market making use of the triangle system
comprising Japan, China and United States. |
