“We continue to grow by preserving our traditions while developing new initiatives.”
— Takayuki Kasuga
For over a century, innovation and sustainability have been woven into the fabric of Japanese company NiKKi Fron Co., Ltd. With roots as a wholesaler dating back to 1896, the firm evolved to manufacture packing solutions from natural silk, hemp waste, and new materials.
The modern company, now renowned for its fluororesin products, celebrated its 80th anniversary in 2024 by embarking on a new challenge. Developing horizontal recycling of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), commonly known as Teflon, that uses machining scraps, the business will soon launch “Sustaina Fron,” the world’s first semiconductor-grade recycled PTFE.
With the company motto of “utilize limited resources effectively,” President Takayuki Kasuga notes, “While representing the spirit of the company, this is a perfect fit for modern sustainability. We are still making new history.”
