Its core operations are divided into two main segments: Total Engineering and Functional Materials Manufacturing. The Total Engineering segment encompasses design, procurement, construction, and machinery and plant performance testing services for industries including petroleum, petroleum refining, petrochemicals, gas, LNG, chemicals, nuclear energy, metal refining, biochemical, food, pharmaceuticals, logistics, medical, information technology, environmental conservation, and pollution control. The Functional Materials Manufacturing segment produces and sells catalysts such as FCC catalysts, hydrotreating catalysts, deNOx catalysts, petrochemical catalysts; functional materials including colloidal silica, surface treatment coatings, semiconductor materials, cosmetic products, and fine ceramics. Additionally, the company offers consulting services involving information research, field research, analysis, risk assessment, numerical simulations, and policy support. JGC operates globally with significant presence in Japan, East and Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and North America. Founded in 1928 and headquartered in Yokohama, Japan, the company transitioned to a holding company structure in 2019, changing its name from JGC Corporation to JGC Holdings Corporation.
Recent major developments include JGC's participation in strategic collaborations and investments aimed at advancing sustainability and advanced technologies. In 2024 and 2025, the company invested in tozero GmbH, a startup focused on efficient recycling of critical materials from lithium-ion batteries, through its CVC fund, JGC MIRAI Innovation Fund. JGC also signed key agreements with industry partners such as JAPEX, "K" LINE, and PETRONAS for collaborative projects on carbon capture and storage (CCS) in Malaysia. Furthermore, JGC and Yokogawa Electric Corporation entered a partnership to jointly develop lunar plant control systems supporting ultra-remote communications, reflecting the company's expansion into space-related technologies. In addition, JGC acquired shares of TAKADA Corporation, strengthening its business alliances, and continues active involvement in large-scale energy infrastructure projects across Asia and the Middle East. These strategic moves underscore JGC Holdings Corporation's commitment to technological innovation, sustainability, and diversified industry growth while maintaining its core EPC and functional materials manufacturing businesses.
