Message
On January 1, 2002, J-Film Corporation was launched as a new venture following the merger of Wada Chemicals, Daiya Plastic, and Ryohan Packaging Systems. Each of these three organizations had been involved in the manufacture and sale of packaging material, primarily polyethylene film and laminate products for over half a century. Since then, we have further evolved by integrating with Toen Chemical Industry, Ryosei Plastics , and Kansai Chemical Industry to reach where we are today.
As J-Film Corporation, we shall harness these years of experience, performance, and know-how to provide quality products and a diverse range of precise and efficient services.
Under the motto of “To create new value in film through proven technology, connecting people and society to the future, and aiming to be a trusted leader in a circular economy.” we remain dedicated to the development of quality products that satisfy the needs of the 21st century swiftly and with precision, with a particular focus on environmental issues. To this end we will strive to manufacture products that are of use to consumers.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your continued patronage and to ask you for your ongoing support and understanding as we move forwards as J-Film Corporation.
