Share of iodine production: Mid-thirty percent in Japan and just over 10% worldwide

Ise Chemicals is one of the top suppliers of iodine in the world.
We supply iodine to some 20 countries around the world and produce just over 10% of the world’s total output.
Domestically, we account for the mid-thirty percent range of Japan's total iodine output. To meet orders from around the globe, we established a subsidiary, WOODWARD IODINE CORPORATION (WIC), in the state of Oklahoma in the United States. We provide cutting-edge technology to WIC and collaborate with them on producing iodine and natural gas in the United States.
Our ability to export our products from two production centers in Japan and the United States is one of our key strengths.
