Corporate History
Since the year following its founding in 1936, The Chemical Daily Co., Ltd. headquartered in Tokyo, has been publishing Kagaku Kogyo
Nippo, The Chemical Daily, a trade newspaper comprehensively covering the chemical industry, from basic chemicals to specialty
chemicals. It recently extended its reach to chemical-related fields such as electronic materials, automotive materials and water treatment,
all of which are Japanese fortes and regarded as cutting-edge industries to take us into the next generation. Subscribers include chemical
companies, financial/insurance companies and trading houses, as well as government departments.
We established overseas branches in Singapore in 2000 and Shanghai in 2005 to expand our news coverage of emerging chemical
industries in Asian countries. In addition, we have been sending our reporters to the US and EU on a regular basis every year to improve
the flow of information to our readers.
In 1960 we inaugurated Japan Chemical Week, an English-language weekly newspaper as a sister publication of The Chemical Daily,
distributing it worldwide besides Japan. It is the only English-language periodical published in Japan that is dedicated to the provision of
news on the chemical industry.

Scope of Business
The Chemical Daily
The Chemical Daily is Japanese leading chemical-industry newspaper. In 2011, we celebrated 75 years of effectively providing the chemical
community with the relevant news and information necessary to push ahead with business growth. With a strong daily readership, The Chemical
Daily is one of the longest established and most valued sources of chemical-industry information in Japan and Asia.
For many years, we have played a key role as a high-quality opinion leader and, in the months and years ahead, we intend to answer the
increasingly diversified and sophisticated needs of our readers and continue to provide accurate, in-depth information on life sciences,
electronics and other high-tech fields, as well as chemical operations; Asian and world news, keeping in pace with the era of globalization; and
reports on the environmental sector, which calls for a global response.
In particular, against the backdrop of heightening interest in environmental issues on a global scale, our Environment page showcases timely
information on the activities of industry, government and academia, as well as the latest R&D; developments. Moreover, we have strengthened
our overseas reporting framework while at the same time fostering cooperation with leading overseas media to reflect live local information on
our pages. In addition, we provide accurate and dependable market price information, and price listings for a wide variety of chemical products.

Publications
The scope of The Chemical Daily Co., Ltd. is not restricted to newspaper publication. To enable rapid response to the changing needs of our
readers and to current issues such as global environmental concerns, we have extended our resource network to encompass companies, the
government and academic conferences, and we continue to publish chemical-industry-related specialized books and educational volumes with
the goal of providing information that is universally useful. We are also pushing ahead with the digitization of a variety of books, and the release
of CD-ROMs.
Kagaku Shohin (Chemical Products Handbook)
This handbook covers the characteristics, methods of production, uses, manufacturers, prices and legal regulations of chemical products, which
have become more and more diversified in recent years.
Kagaku Keizai (Chemical Business Journal)
In the 53 years since its inaugural issue, Kagaku Keizai has been the Japanese chemical industry's only monthly specialist journal and, as such,
has played an important role as an indicator for Japan's chemical industry. Recently Kagaku Keizai has featured a number of unique articles that
deal with such wide-ranging topics as information on China, environmental issues, and IT. It is attracting more attention than ever. In addition to
the regular monthly issues, three extra editions are published every year: White Paper on the World Chemical Industry; White Paper on Japan's
Chemical Industry; and White Paper on Asia's Chemical Industry. These also are well received by our readers.
Workshops & Networking
At seminars and symposiums, we invite specialists, government officials and academic experts from within Japan and overseas to lecture on the
hottest topics such as management issues, environmental regulations, and safety controls for chemical substances.
We also hold exhibitions as venues for direct interaction between participants along with the exchange of products and information, thereby
opening the door to business opportunities.
CPhI Japan (Convention of Pharmaceutical Ingredients Japan)
Since 2002 in conjunction with the UBM Group, we have organized CPhI Japan (Convention of Pharmaceutical Ingredients Japan) in Tokyo,
gathering together a large number of exhibitors and visitors from throughout the world, contributing to the steady expansion of the
pharmaceutical and related industries.
In addition to the world's largest chemical engineering exhibition ACHEMA, held by Germany's Society for Chemical Engineering and
Biotechnology (DECHEMA), we regularly send representatives to the European and US chemical industries, and to the Southeast Asian
chemical industry. Each party calls in on the leading companies and government offices in the areas they visit, exchanging information and
deepening friendly relations.
