MITSUBISHI CHEMICAL INFRATEC

What MITSUBISHI CHEMICAL INFRATEC does

Mitsubishi Chemical Infratec Co., Ltd. (三菱ケミカルインフラテック株式会社) is a Japan-domiciled, wholly-owned operating subsidiary of Mitsubishi Chemical Group, headquartered in Marunouchi, Tokyo, that supplies a broad portfolio of construction, civil engineering, industrial equipment, and logistics materials to the Japanese domestic market. The company was founded in 1963, originally as a plastic container manufacturer (Hishi Container), and has accumulated over 60 years of materials science capability spanning polymer chemistry, FRP manufacturing, carbon fiber reinforcement, geosynthetics, and resin film-laminated steel. Its product portfolio is organized into roughly 30+ sub-brands and is marketed across three primary use cases: architectural (waterproofing, insulation, daylighting, water tanks, floor heating), civil engineering (erosion-control block mats, geogrids, geocells, carbon fiber reinforcement, grouts), and industrial/logistics (cooling towers, plastic containers, constant-temperature containers, filter plates). The technological platform is anchored on proprietary formulations (e.g., MY Loufer water-based acrylic rubber waterproofing, Hishi Metal resin-film laminated steel, Repelark carbon fiber reinforcement) and certified under Japanese standards (NETIS, eco-mark).
