The merger of eight celluloid companies leads to the establishment of Dainippon Celluloid Co., Ltd. Although the celluloid industry boomed during World War I, the postwar depression left the industry battered from excessive competition arising from plummeting global demand for celluloid. With the realization that the Japanese celluloid industry could grow only through collaboration, eight celluloid companies decided to merge. The industry's reorganization thus led to the birth of our pioneering company (with 48% of the capital being provided by Sakai Celluloid, 21% by Japan Celluloid Artificial, 16% by Osaka Sen'i Kogyo, 7% by Tokyo Celluloid, and 8% by four other companies: Mikuni Celluloid, Notoya Celluloid, Toyo Celluloid, and Togawa Celluloid). |

The Arai Plant is established in Niigata Prefecture to begin production of acetylene-base organic chemicals. In 1933, we decided to enter the cellulose acetate business. We adopted the major policy of becoming self-sufficient in production of the raw materials of acetic acid and other products through integrated production from carbide and to develop related chemicals. This represents the origins of our current organic chemicals business. We determined that the Arai district of Niigata Prefecture provided a combination of cheap and abundant electricity, a reliable and plentiful supply of industrial water, and an adequate supply of high-quality limestone ore in nearby mountains. In 1935, we constructed our Arai Plant and began manufacturing carbide, acetylene, aldehyde, acetic acid, acetic anhydride, cellulose acetate, ethyl acetate, and acetone. Regarding acetic anhydride, a critical material for production of cellulose acetate, we adopted the ketene method, which results in high-purity products. This led to our current position as the trailblazer in the production of ketene derivatives and other fine chemicals. |

新潟県に新井工場を新設、アセチレン系有機合成事業を開始
1933年に酢酸セルロース事業に着手することを決め、その原料である酢酸などに関して、カーバイドからの一貫生産によって自給し、併せて関連化学品をも開発するという大方針を決定しました。これが現在の有機合成事業の起源です。安価で豊富な電力の供給が得られ、良質で豊富な石灰原石山が近隣にあり、工業用水が豊富にあることから、新潟県新井地区が最適地であるという結論に達し、1935年に新井工場を新設、カーバイドからアセチレン、アルデヒド、酢酸、無水酢酸、酢酸セルロース、酢酸エチル、アセトンと順次製造を開始。酢酸セルロースの主原料である無水酢酸の製法は、高純度の製品が製造できるケテン法が採用され、その後、ケテン誘導体などの生産に繋がっています |

The Kawachi Sub-Plant in the Aboshi Kako Plant (currently the Harima Plant) opens and begins production of smokeless gunpowder.
During World War I, prior to the merger that formed our Company, Japan Celluloid Artificial Silk Co., Ltd. first began manufacture of propellant at the Aboshi Plant. Later, during the Pacific War, manufacturing continued on the orders of the Japanese Army and Navy. After the war, we switched to supplying the private-sector to revitalize the market. In 1950, special demand for ammunition arose due to the outbreak of the Korean War, and we resumed our gunpowder business. In 1953, we established the Aboshi Kako Plant on coastal land adjacent to the Aboshi Plant. The next year, however, in view of the special nature of explosive production and storage, we sought a new location. As a result, we established the Kawachi Sub-Plant in the Aboshi Kako Plant (currently the Harima Plant). |

The Sakai Plant begins production of acetate tow for cigarette filters.
As attempts were made to filter tobacco smoke in order to remove harmful substances, acetate filters have the advantage of absorbing nicotine tar without impairing the flavor of tobacco. This product was first put to practical use in the United States in 1951. In 1956, in collaboration with Nippon Monopoly Corporation (currently Japan Tobacco Inc.), we undertook research and development of filter tow, succeeding in domestic mass production of acetate tow in 1958. |

Production of acetic acid with the methanol carbonylation process begins.
Acetic acid production is the cornerstone of our cellulose and organic chemicals businesses. Commercialization of acetic acid made with the methanol carbonylation process in response to the introduction of C1 chemistry became a national project following the oil crisis. It also helped to solve the critical issues of strengthened cost competitiveness and stability of supply; moreover, it represented an initiative with the promise of reversing the company's fortunes. At that time, we had introduced the production technology from the Monsanto Company (U.S.A.) utilizing the methanol carbonylation process, a state-of-the-art manufacturing method that resulted in the development of the industry's leading acetic acid plant within a relatively brief 22 months. At the time of its completion, the plant had an annual production capacity of 150,000 tons. Production capacity was gradually increased, however, to the point where the plant's capacity now exceeds 400,000 tons per year, thus creating the foundation underpinning Daicel's various products and businesses. |

Optical isomer resolution business is launched.
Artificially synthesized chemicals have two molecules, D bodies and L bodies, which are related to optical isomers. These two molecules have the same chemical properties but, as pharmaceuticals, they have different physiological effects, so some may trigger undesirable side effects. After the impact of the troubling Thalidomide scandal over a 10-year span beginning in 1963, interest in resolution technology increased. At that time, Assistant Professor Yoshio Okamoto of the School of Engineering Science, Osaka University (currently a distinguished professor at Nagoya University) discovered that optically active polymethacrylate triphenylmethyl and the filler that carries it on silica gel have an excellent optical isomer resolution function. Daicel took advantage of this invention and succeeded in commercializing the development of chiral columns with an optical isomer resolution function. Today, this product is used by researchers the world over as an essential part of research and development, manufacturing, and quality assurance of chiral pharmaceuticals. |

(U.S.A.) introduced the airbag system as a lifesaving device in motor vehicle collisions. In 1969, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) under the U.S. Department of Transportation introduced a law mandating that all passenger vehicles be equipped with airbags. This sparked a full-scale research and development effort to achieve practical use of airbags. Our Company undertook the research and development of airbag systems beginning in the mid-1970s, and in 1988, we began supplying mass production equipment for inflators. From 2000 onwards, we began establishing production and sales bases in the U.S.A., Thailand, Poland, China and India, thus realizing our global supply system. |

A joint venture is established with Shanghai Da-shen Cellulose Plastics Co., Ltd., a manufacturing and sales company of celluloid and acetate plastics. Celluloid was developed in response to changing consumer preferences and has been adopted in a variety of applications including eyeglass frames, table tennis balls, pachinko machines, and guitar picks. However, achieving cost reductions through mass production is difficult with celluloid and as a result, annual domestic production decreased from a peak of 10,000 tons to 200 tons by the end of the 1980s. We implemented a variety of measures in an effort to continue our longstanding traditional business, but eventually decided to further reduce costs by relocating our production to China. After the establishment of a joint venture, production was gradually transferred, and production in Japan eventually ended in April 1996. |

Our Company went through several name changes - from Dainippon Celluloid Company Limited at the time of its founding to Daicel Co., Ltd. in 1966 and Daicel Chemical Industries, Ltd. in 1979. We have since expanded the scope of our business by building on our core technologies of cellulosic chemicals, organic chemicals, polymer chemistry, and pyrotechnics. In recent years, the assembly segment as represented by automobile airbag inflators has grown into another core business. To demonstrate our goal of developing beyond the chemical industry with original technologies and expertise built on chemistry, both inside and outside the company, we decided to rename the Company with its current name, Daicel Corporation. |
