Toyoda Gosei aims to be a “fascinating company” that pursues KOBUNSHI and meets to the expectations of society
Over more than 70 years since its foundation in 1949, Toyoda Gosei has displayed its collective strength in areas from development to production and sales, based on its synthetic rubber and plastics mixing technology, and provided high functioning, high quality products and services. The company name includes the Japanese word “gosei”, or combine from a philosophy of creating new things using rubber and plastics and that mindset has continued until today.
The automotive industry is transforming with an ongoing transition in power relationships as the market structure rapidly changes. The future is also opaque and uncertain as human values change, environmental and social problems deepen, and geopolitical risks rise. We must steer the company on an extremely difficult course.
To envision the future of the company in these circumstances, we looked anew at our company creed and asked ourselves again, “What is our value as a company?” We then formulated our 2030 Business Plan to undertake management innovations with the aim of achieving sustainable growth and development while balancing the social and economic value of our business.
As we move toward achieving that, we will evolve ourselves and take on challenges while treasuring our tangible and intangible assets based on the polymers, or “KOBUNSHI” in Japanese that have been built up by our predecessors.
The assets cultivated over many years include not only our technology, manufacturing, management skills and the like, but also our deeply rooted company culture that has been passed down continuously in each person’s thoughts and actions.
As is symbolized in the hexagonal benzene ring used in our company logo, individual molecules, or individual person come together and organically link individuals and organizations. The occurrence of chemical reactions increases creativity and we adapt by flexibly changing the shape of our responses to a changing environment.
Then, by evolving and expanding in connection with all stakeholders, we build up a polymeric organization, or “KOBUNSHI” that energizes people and organizations. We aim to be a company that people look to with expectation—“Toyoda Gosei is a fascinating company” and “They are sure to do things that will benefit us all”—and that will grow sustainably into the future.
The Toyoda Gosei Group harnesses the power of 40,000 employees in 58 Group companies in 15 countries and regions under our slogan of “One Team, One TG.” We have and will continue to deliver satisfaction to customers in the form of safety, comfort and decarbonization to enrich transportation and people’s lives.
