The Never-ending Challenges for the
Future
The development
of new businesses is one of the Mitsubishi Rayon Group’s
most important operational goals. It takes many years to get
a new business up and running, from R&D to marketing and
product development. And investing in venture businesses and
forming business affiliations require the ability to make
important decisions swiftly.
At Mitsubishi
Rayon, we seek new business opportunities by developing new
projects that are based on existing businesses, and by being
open-minded in our selection of those new businesses that
appear most promising in light of the technical innovation
taking place around the world. Affiliations with overseas
partners and mergers and acquisitions also remain important
options in our quest for new businesses. |

In the pharmaceutical intermediates
business, Mitsubishi Rayon is leveraging its expertise in
HCN, biotechnology, and precision organic synthesis in the
development of intermediates for new medicines. We are currently
focusing on optically active mandelic acids and are supplying
major pharma manufacturers with R- and S-mandelic acids.

A DNA chip is a microchip with a substrate on which
many types of capture DNA are lined up and fixed with high density,
allowing simultaneous analysis of many genes. It is a powerful tool
for analysis of genes in genome research, and is attracting great attention
from around the world.
Mitsubishi Rayon has developed the new fibrous
type DNA chip GENOPAL, combining technologies we have developed
for filament yarns, resins, and biology. We are pursuing R&D to
further improve the functions of our DNA chips, and are engaged in
joint development projects with leading research organizations.
It
is expected that, in addition to its use as an indispensable
tool for future order-made medical treatment, the DNA chip
will be used in a broad range of other fields, from foodstuffs,
to health care and environmental issues. By conducting the
DNA Chip Open Lab. at Yokohama Corporate Research Laboratories,
we will strive to understand the needs of users and develop
new applications.
