Oleochemical business has led the industry as a pioneer of the oleochemistry field in Japan since it was established in 1910.

Oleochemical business is the core business of the NOF group, which has a long history as an oleochemistry pioneer, and remains the leader in this field in Japan.

At present, in addition to oleochemical products such as fatty acids, their derivatives, and surfactants, a variety of functional products based on alkylene oxide derivatives, (meth)acrylic acid esters, etc. in petrochemistry have been developed for growing fields with remarkable technological innovation such as resources, environment and energy field, electronics and information technology field, healthcare fields.

In the future as in the present, oleochemical business will be not only pursuing further potentialities in oils and fats, always new materials, but also developing high-function and high-value-added products in many fields of oleochemistry and petrochemistry based on original our technical skills accumulated in a long period of time to expand the business based in these growth fields with high technology.
