History
KH Neochem Company, Ltd. traces its roots to Kyowa Chemical Research Laboratories established in 1937 in Tokyo, Japan. Five years later, the company introduced the first practical application of acetone and butanol fermentation. This groundbreaking development set the stage for subsequent research-driven innovations incorporating the organic fusion of fermentation (biotechnology) and synthesis (chemical technology).
In the decades that followed, the renamed Kyowa Hakko Chemical Co. continued to expand and diversify its activities, applying its unique R&D philosophy and quality product orientation to benefit the lubricant, coatings, adhesives and electronics industries.
Today, KH Neochem carries on that tradition of total excellence, officially changing our name from Kyowa Hakko Chemical on April 1, 2012. We remain firmly committed to advancing our brand values and expanding delivery of the company’s comprehensive products and services to markets around the globe.
