Brief History

Sumitomo Chemical was established in 1913 to manufacture fertilizers from sulfur dioxide from smelting operations at the Besshi copper mine in Niihama (Ehime Prefecture), with the aim of solving environmental problems caused by emissions.

Our global vision: Create both Economic and Social Values

Sumitomo Chemical Europe operates business in four sectors: Essential & Plastics, Energy & Functional Materials, IT-related Chemicals and Health & Crop Sciences.
