Pursuing the possibilities of polymers, we will contribute to a future of better mobility and living
Toyoda Gosei was founded in 1949, and over more than 70 years has provided high functioning, high quality products and services based on synthetic rubber and plastics and associated mixing technology. This is done in conjunction with various stakeholders involved in development, engineering, procurement, production and sales. Our company name includes the word “gosei” (“synthesis”) from a philosophy of creating new things using our main materials, and that mindset has continued today.
The automotive industry is currently going through a period of huge transformation with advances in electrification, autonomous driving and other areas. As management, we must steer a very difficult course in opaque and uncertain circumstances where the future is difficult to predict, amid changing human values, deepening environmental and social problems and geopolitical risks. Our company creed is “Boundless Creativity and Social Contribution” and with this as our cornerstone we will adapt greatly and take on challenges while continuing to value the polymer-based assets in many forms that have been built up by our predecessors.
These cultivated assets are not limited to the fields of technology, products, control technology and the like, but also include our deeply rooted corporate culture.
Like the hexagonal benzene molecule that symbolizes our company, various molecules (= individuals) come together and are linked organically. Chemical reactions of ideas and creativity occur and an organization is structured that changes flexibly according to the environment. We also have ties with other organizations (all stakeholders) and grow expansively.
To further develop this kind of culture, we will adapt to whatever changes occur in the business environment and take these changes as opportunities. We want people to think, “Toyoda Gosei is fascinating, don’t you think?” and “They will surely do something good for us.”
The Toyoda Gosei Group harnesses the power of 40,000 employees in 62 Group companies in 16 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, well-being, the environment and decarbonization to enrich transportation and people’s lives.
