Deriving satisfaction from our work that inspires us
to contribute to individuals and society

Since 1951, Daiken Chemical Co., Ltd. has been pursuing its own distinctive research to develop the potential of precious metals. One of our earliest innovations was the development of liquid gold for ceramics.
During this period, we have responded to the needs of our customers by constantly taking on the challenges of developing new technologies. Today, we have grown to become a renowned Japanese developer of conductive pastes and other leading high-tech metal components.
To all those who have supported our business over the years, we feel a deep sense of gratitude. We remain committed to our precepts as inspired by Shujing (“The Book of History”); specifically, we shall “derive a satisfaction from our work that inspires us to contribute to individuals and society.” Moreover, we shall strive to pursue R&D innovations that provide benefits for up to two decades.
We maintain a focus on providing our customers with superior technology and unmatched quality. At Daiken Chemical, a pioneer in forging the future of precious metals, we look forward to your continued support and encouragement.
