Business Strategy

5. Expand Advanced Materials Businesses

The NT-II program calls for improving revenues and profits by ensuring a continuous supply of advanced materials that have been developed using Toray's core technologies - organic synthetic chemistry, polymer chemistry, biochemistry- primarily for industry and users in the three growth areas (IT-related products, life sciences, and environment, safety, and amenity). In order to achieve 100 billion yen in consolidated operating income, it is essential that we raise sales in our advanced materials businesses to the level of 470 billion yen and consolidated operating income to 55 billion yen. To achieve this, a generous portion of management resources will be allocated to advanced materials businesses. Some 60% of total Toray Industries' capital investment, and about half of the Group consolidated capital investment, will be injected into advanced materials businesses, which will serve to transform our business structure and position the company as " Toray - The Leader in Advanced Materials."

  • Allot abundant management resources to Advanced Materials businesses
    (Capital investment: 60% on Toray parent basis, 50% on consolidated basis)
  • Expand businesses in IT-related materials (films, electronics materials), carbon
    fiber composite materials, and environmental-related businesses
  • Start new Advanced Materials businesses in the near future
