Mitsubishi International's chemicals-related business activities bring together a number of the company's strengths on behalf of our customers worldwide. MIC partners selectively with partners at all stages of development - start-up and technology ventures, growth and expansion firms, and larger more established companies, to create value and create new, sustainable businesses by leveraging our industry experience, market knowledge and our global network.
One of MIC's seven business units, the Chemicals Group focuses on Commodity Chemicals and Specialty Chemicals. In general, the Group exports commodity chemicals, plastics and fertilizer to Japan and elsewhere in Asia, and imports specialty and functional chemicals, as well as engineering plastics, into the U.S.
Commodity Chemicals
There are thousands of commodity chemical transactions carried out each day around the globe. Successful trading decisions in this environment are based on up-to-the-second global market information. In partnership with its investments and with our parent Mitsubishi Corporation, MIC is constantly looking to develop new markets and new chemical products.
Among the commodity chemicals it handles MIC includes aromatic polyester, fiber intermediates and olefins, polyolefins and industrial plastics, fertilizer, organic and inorganic industrial chemicals, PVC and additives.
Specialty Chemicals
Specialty Chemicals at MIC are exceptionally diverse and global in scope. Fine and organic chemicals are used to address two vital concerns of developing nations, improved medical care and agricultural products. Mitsubishi's research has led us into such areas as tissue culture, cell fusion and genetic engineering, used to develop rice, cereal crops, vegetables and flowers with increased disease resistance and improved characteristics.
In the area of plant protection, one of particular importance to emerging economies, we have distributed American and European agrichemicals to China, and have provided biochemical technical guidance to the former Soviet Union.
The Chemicals Group shares with MIC as a whole, and with our parent company, Mitsubishi Corporation, an abiding commitment to environmental stewardship, which informs both day-to-day business decisions and more strategic thinking about chemical products and markets.
