Message from Management
We have a proud history of over 100 years in harmony with nature and local communities
Shinano Electric Refining, Co., Ltd. traces its origins to our predecessor, Taisho Electric Refining Co., Ltd., in 1921, under the motto "Contribute to the world through unique technologies, benefit the environment and society."
Shin-Etsu Chemical Co., Ltd. became our parent company in 1951, renaming the company to Shinano Electric Refining Co., Ltd. We have continued our operations in Shinano-machi, Nagano Prefecture, for over a century, building on a legacy of innovation and trust.
Currently, our core business includes the production, development and distribution of silicon carbide and related products. In addition, we have played a role in the inorganic chemicals field since we joined the Shin-Etsu Chemical Group in 1965.
Silicon carbide is a material of growing interest with high hardness, excellent heat resistance, durability and thermal conductivity. We seek to unlock new applications by further promoting research into silicon carbide and developing more sophisticated, unique technologies. Our goal is to disseminate leading products worldwide from our base in Shinano-machi.
At the same time, we are also committed to the surrounding environment and the well-being of our employees in order to find new means of co-prosperity and co-existence. While developing as a company, we remain aware of our mission to preserve nature's abundance for further generations. We appreciate your continued support and partnership.
Shinano Electric Refining Co., Ltd.
