About company
Mitsubishi Gas Chemical Company, Inc. (MGC) is a prominent player in the global chemical industry, with a history that traces back to its establishment in 1971 through a strategic merger aimed at leveraging indigenous technology over foreign introductions, a move that was somewhat unconventional for Japan's chemical sector at the time. The company has since evolved, marking its presence on the international stage by initiating methanol production in Saudi Arabia in 1983, a decision that underscored its forward-thinking approach by shifting its production base closer to raw material sources rather than consumption areas to enhance its international competitiveness. This move not only highlights MGC's strategic foresight in optimizing its operations for global market demands but also underscores its role in the chemical industry, particularly in the production and supply of methanol, among other chemical products and services. The company's approach to business reflects a blend of innovation, strategic expansion, and a commitment to leveraging technology to maintain and enhance its position in the chemical industry.
