Greetings from the President and Representative Director

We will achieve the future miniaturization and power saving of our partner products through miniaturization and high purity.

By working together with our customers,we create products that meet their needs.

The products we handle, such as photoacid generators, are essential for high technological industries such as semiconductor manufacturing, but there is a growing demand for further miniaturization and higher purity in the future. This will lead to the miniaturization and power saving of various products, which will in turn lead to energy conservation and environmental protection. With an eye on the future of the planet, we accurately grasp the needs of our customers and create materials that are highly valuable and indispensable in modern society. We believe that this is our mission.

Product creation through collaboration with customers

Since the arrival of the new era of “Reiwa”, which means “a beautiful and excellent era in which people live in harmony”, the present age has continued to change at a dizzying speed. In the latter half of the Heisei period, we experienced major disasters such as the Great East Japan Earthquake, but despite overcoming these challenges, the new Reiwa era, which we welcomed with hope for the future, has continued to be a chaotic time, with the coronavirus pandemic and wars in various parts of the world, as well as torrential rains and the Noto Peninsula earthquake in Japan.

The entire chemical industry is undergoing a period of transformation due to factors such as the rising cost of raw materials due to the impact of war and the need to speed up development. We believe that we need to go back to our roots, hone our skills, and work on fine chemicals that meet the needs of our customers. This is not something we can do alone, but only because our customers - our partners - can co-create with us. By “thinking together with our customers”, we can customize our products to meet their individual needs and create products that can be used for a wide variety of things.

We are also exploring new applications in fields other than semiconductor-related, stereolithography materials, and urethane materials.

San-Apro has a lineup of various types of catalysts for photoacid generators, thermal base generators, and thermal acid generators, and our products are used in a wide range of applications, including semiconductor-related materials, stereolithography materials for displays and 3D printers, and urethane materials.
At the same time, we are constantly exploring new applications for our products, as we believe they can be used in a wide variety of ways. We have detailed product and technical information on our website, and we hope that it will contribute to new insights for our customers.

If you have any problems with your products that you would like to discuss, please contact us. Our staff have specialist knowledge will be happy to help. “San-Apro, thinking together”. We look forward to hearing from you.

Using organic synthesis technology to make proposals that meet customer needs

Our company is a company that provides special catalysts using organic synthesis technology. The UX (User Experience) Promotion Department aims to provide one-of-a-kind products by acting as a bridge between customers and our development team, with the motto of “thinking together” with customers to meet their needs, and making product proposals.
Our company is characterized by the fact that we are a “fabless company” that does not have its own production factory. We have the advantage of being able to flexibly choose the processes and production scale that are most suitable for the products we develop, without being constrained by the concept of matching the manufacturing process to fixed equipment.

We have responded flexibly to changes in the times, and based on customer needs, we have always been willing to “give it a try first”.

Based on seeds such as super-strong bases and super-strong acids, we have developed customization based on customer needs, and we have responded flexibly to changes in the times, and the foundation (tradition) of this is the spirit of “giving it a try first”.

In addition to this, in order to put into practice our motto of “gratitude”, “essence”, “belief”, “smile” and “challenge”, we are working together with our customers, suppliers, production contractors and university research institutions, as well as our internal organization, to “make everyone smile by being grateful for everyday life, understanding the essence of things, and taking on the challenge of creating new value with belief”.
