About SEKISUI

Our Founding

SEKISUI was founded on March 3, 1947 by seven young pioneering scientists whose aim was to create a groundbreaking plastics company that would both create profit and care for employees. Since our founding, SEKISUI has grown from one factory in Osaka to become a global company with over 26,000 employees working in more than 27 countries for over 180 companies.

Our Name

The name SEKISUI originates in Sun Tzu’s famous military treatise ‘The Art of War’. He wrote that ‘the onrush of a conquering force is like the bursting of pent-up waters into a thousand fathoms deep’.

SEKISUI is the water that waits and then acts decisively to quickly rush into opportunities. This is reflected today in our focus on detail and quality but also our fearlessness in entering new markets and exploring new opportunities.
