Business
ISE Chemicals Corporation (TSE: 4107) manufactures, processes, and markets iodine and iodine compounds, metallic compounds, and natural gas primarily in Japan. The company offers core iodine products including ISEFLO prilled iodine, crude iodine, potassium iodide, sodium iodide, cuprous iodide, hydroiodic acid, and disinfectants such as ISEPHOR, DIASAN CLEAN, and ISEPHOR L; metallic compounds encompassing nickel chloride, cobalt chloride, and tricobalt tetraoxide for electronic components, ceramic capacitors, and applications in smartphones and automobiles; and natural gas extracted from brine for supply to gas companies and factories. Founded in 1927 as Ise Iodine Factory in Mie Prefecture and headquartered at 10th Floor, Yaesuguchi Daiei Bldg., 3-1, Kyobashi 1-chome, Chuo-ku, Tokyo, Japan, ISE Chemicals operates production plants in Chiba and Miyazaki Prefectures and maintains a U.S. subsidiary, Woodward Iodine Corporation, in Oklahoma. As a subsidiary of AGC Inc., it serves medical, pharmaceutical, agricultural, livestock, automotive, electronics, and industrial sectors, holding approximately 15% of the global iodine market and 45% domestic share in Japan. In recent developments, the company reported strong financial performance for fiscal year 2025 with operating profit reaching ¥18.9 billion, more than doubling the prior year, driven by margin expansion to 16.6%; it also transitioned to the Tokyo Stock Exchange Standard Market in April 2022 and commenced natural gas and brine production in Chiba's Satsubo district in 2014, with ongoing investments in production enhancements.
