Kochi Prefecture is where Taiyo Oil was founded, and Imabari City is where our Shikoku Operations are located.

The presentation ceremony held at the Kochi Prefectural Government Office was attended by President & CEO Takahiro Yamamoto, Representative Member of the Board and Senior Vice President Takakazu Matsuura, and General Affairs Department General Manager Yuichi Watabe. The presentation ceremony held at Imabari City Hall was attended by Representative Member of the Board and Senior Vice President Takakazu Matsuura, Senior Vice President & Shikoku Operations General Manager Junichi Ishikawa, and General Affairs Department General Manager Yuichi Watabe. At each presentation ceremony, the Company received a letter of appreciation for its donation.

Kochi Prefecture will use our donation to promote the development of products and technologies that reduce environmental impact and to advance wood utilization initiatives.
