Basic Strategy & Management Vision
Corporate Philosophy
Contributing to the preservation of the Earth and the prosperity of the human race.
In keeping with its name, derived from the Greek words “GEO” (Earth) and “EON” (eternity), Zeon will contribute to a “Sustainable Earth” and “Safe and Comfortable Life for People” by providing original technologies, products, and services.
Zeon Corporation was founded as the first full-scale manufacturer of polyvinyl chloride resin in Japan, with capital and technology support from BF Goodrich Chemicals of the United States. Upon our founding, we adopted BF Goodrich's "Geon" trademark for a polyvinyl chloride resin as our corporate name. The word "Geon" is a compound of two Greek words: "GEO," which refers to the "Earth," and "EON," which refers to "eternity." It represents "eternal prosperity with materials supplied by the Earth." "ZEON" has been the company name since BF Goodrich Chemicals withdrew capital support.
