KAI President & CEO Hans Vandommele Marks Kuraray's Centennial Anniversary

Today, June 24th 2026, marks a historic milestone, Kuraray celebrates its centennial anniversary!

Since 1926, Kuraray has pursued what once seemed impossible. We transform bold ideas into materials that improve everyday life in ways both visible and not as easily seen. For #100 years, our guiding belief has been simple: true value comes from combining technological advancement with meaningful contributions to society.

This philosophy drove our growth from pioneering synthetic fibers to becoming a global leader in specialty chemicals and advanced materials. Achieving what no one else can while contributing to the greater good remains at the heart of everything we do.

Today, with my Kuraray America, Inc. team, as we celebrate alongside our global team, we look to the future. We remain committed to a culture rooted in responsibility, curiosity, and care for people and our planet.

Progress is built over time through bold thinking, trusted partnerships, and an unwavering commitment to society.

Thank you to our employees, partners, and customers who have built this legacy of possibility. Here is to the next century and beyond!

Happy 100th Kuraray!
