Description

Adeka Corporation operates across three core business segments: chemicals, food products, and life sciences. Its extensive chemicals division offers a broad portfolio of specialized products. These include polymer additives such as antioxidants, UV stabilizers, nucleating agents, metal deactivators, flame retardants, and various epoxy-based stabilizers and processing aids like plasticizers. Adeka also manufactures light and thermal curing materials, encompassing initiators, polymerizable substances, resist materials, thermal paper components, and essential materials for semiconductors and circuits. The company’s chemical offerings further extend to functional polymers, including water-borne, epoxy, and urethane resins, as well as surface specialties like general-purpose and functional surfactants, cosmetic ingredients, and lubricant additives. Other key chemical products range from propylene glycol, peroxygen chemicals, and metal soaps to inorganic compounds, alongside specific materials for civil engineering and construction, such as joint fillers and sealing compounds. These chemical solutions cater to a diverse array of sectors, including electronics, IT, plastics, rubber, personal care, industrial manufacturing, liquid crystal displays, automotive, building and construction, and the paints, coatings, and adhesives industries. Beyond chemicals, Adeka is a prominent producer of food products, sold under the RISU BRAND. Its culinary offerings feature margarines, shortenings, oils and fats for chocolate, frying oils, whipping and concentrated milk creams, various fillings, frozen pie doughs, mayonnaise, dressings, and functional foods. The corporation also diversifies its operations into other key services. These include plant facility design, construction, and management, alongside facility maintenance, logistics, warehousing, vehicle leasing, real estate, and insurance agency activities. Established in 1917, the company was initially known as Asahi Denka Co., Ltd., before officially changing its name to Adeka Corporation in May 2006. Adeka is headquartered in Tokyo, Japan.
