Sumitomo Riko manufactures advanced products based on our core competency, "Polymer Materials Technology" cultivated since the company's founding.
With our continuous creation of new value, we are helping to build a society that is safe, secure, comfortable and environmentally friendly across the four fields of "Automotive (Mobility)", "Infrastructure and Housing Environment", "Electronics", and "Healthcare".
Automotive (Mobility)
The automobile is the most familiar transportation. Sumitomo Riko's automotive products provide further comfort as well as safety and security to drivers and passengers.
Through our global development and supply network covering five key regions, we are a stable source of consistently high-quality products for automotive manufacturers worldwide.
Infrastructure
Sumitomo Riko's products are the foundation of industry and contribute to the development of public transportation. Our products include various industrial hoses critical to construction machinery, plants, and civil engineering sites, rubber bearings for bridges that safeguard infrastructure such as elevated highways and bridges from the threat of earthquakes, and anti-vibration rubber for Shinkansen train cars and other railroad rolling stock.
Housing Environment
Protecting people's livelihoods is "TRC Damper", Sumitomo Riko's earthquake countermeasure systems. These dampers absorb the shaking during earthquakes and greatly reduce the shaking of buildings.
Furthermore, "Refleshine", our highly transparent reflecting and insulating films for windows, are not only used in factories and offices but can also be found on trains, providing comfortable spaces wherever used.
Electronics
From charging rollers, which Sumitomo Riko was the first to develop and productize developer rollers, wherever you look in the vital parts of devices such as printers and copiers you will find Sumitomo Riko parts performing vital functions that influence the quality of the picture. We have been able to produce water-developable flexographic printing plates, a revolutionary concept that contributes to a reduced burden on the environment. We will continue to promote technological innovations aimed at creating a society friendly to people and the environment.
Healthcare
We developed our unique Smart Rubber (SR) Sensor, a body pressure detection sensor made of rubber that "visualizes" pressure.
These sensors are utilized at medical and nursing care workplaces. Sumitomo Riko continues to develop products and technologies that are useful in keeping us healthy while we live our lives.
