Toray Industries, Inc.

From Rayon Yarn to Advanced Materials

In 1926, we started out as a business producing rayon yarn. Since then, we have worked to manufacture basic materials, and have been involved in manufacturing advanced materials and high-value-added products across a range of fields including resins, chemicals, films, carbon fibers and composite materials, electronics and information-related materials, pharmaceuticals and medical products, water treatment, and the environment, in addition to our original field of textiles.

Fibers, Textiles and Carbon Fiber Composites

Ever since its establishment, our fibers and textiles business has focused on three major synthetic fibers: nylon, polyester, and acrylic.

We are the world's leading manufacturer of PAN-based carbon fibers, and offer a range materials to meet customer requirements.

Sustainable Materials and Water Treatment

In recent years, we have also turned our attention to developing environmentally friendly products such as those made from biomass-derived sources and recycled materials. We provide water-treatment membrane technology to help solve global water resource problems, alongside products that contribute to the quality, health, and esthetics of people's lives.
