President's Message

Turning life's small annoyances
into little cheers.

Masaki Otani, President, DAIWA Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.

Raw materials and manufacturing of plastic products

Since taking over the company from the previous president in 2002, I have worked alongside our customers to make things, with plastic injection molding at the center.

As price competition with overseas products continued, we took a hard look at ourselves and asked whether it was enough to be a company that only molds plastic. The answer took us back to the origin of making things: talking with customers from the planning stage and giving shape to what they truly need.

To do that, we equipped ourselves to build prototype models in-house, then added a UV-curing printer and a laser processing machine, along with a dedicated workshop.

Now we want to bring those refined skills into daily life with our own hands. That wish gave birth to cheerel.

Kitchen splashes, hard-to-wash water bottles, dirt in tight gaps. We will keep addressing life's small annoyances one at a time, making tools that quietly cheer on the people who use them.
