By creating new paradigms for production, marketing and technology development, we aim to ensure optimized and stable profit flows while developing our business to maximally leverage the acrylic chain. In the polymer business, we have embarked on full-scale marketing of competitive polymer products in the Asian region, beginning with the launch of water-soluble polymers manufactured at our Singapore Plant (Toagosei Singapore Pte Ltd.), which was upgraded in 2010. At the same time, we are improving productivity at the Nagoya Plant and Nihon Junyaku Co., Ltd., while expanding the flocculant business at MT AquaPolymer, Inc. In the Aronix business, we are leveraging the strengths of our three production bases in Asia, the Nagoya Plant, TOA-DIC Zhangjiagang Chemical Co., Ltd. in China and TOA-JET Chemical Co., Ltd. in Taiwan. Our priority is developing the Asian market by ensuring delivery of grades tailored to local needs and stable supply capability. At the same time, we are taking measures to prepare for intensified competition, by rationalizing production and optimizing raw material procurement.
