In January 2021, this company was established in Rotterdam by a chemical producer. This startup company deals with a raw material that is used in coatings and epoxy, among other applications. The company is originally Japanese, and for this reason, the primary language spoken in the workplace is English. The European market has the highest demand for this raw material. This demand is stable and consistent, with efficient logistics and transportation for the supply of various essential raw materials. Consequently, the company, in collaboration with its parent company, has significant growth potential.
