FUKOKU’s soft materials
The ability to create new materials

Carrying on the polymer material compounding technology we have built up over our long history in the transportation equipment industry, we introduce and fuse cutting-edge technologies in pursuit of material development that can provide added value by reducing the cost of our customers’ products or making them more functional, more reliable, safer, more environmentally friendly, or otherwise improving their performance.
