Company History

1970	May	Union Showa K.K. was founded as a joint venture between Showa Denko K.K. and Union Carbide of United States. The Company built a plant in Yokkaichi Mie-Pre and began the production of Molecular Sieves, making use of technology introduced from Union Carbide Corporation.
1974	Dec	The Company was merged with Showa Unox, a member of the same financial group engaged in the environmental improvement business. The corporate name was changed to Showa Unox.
1980	Mar	The merger relationship was dissolved, and the company restored its original business category and original company name.
1988	Aug	Union Carbide, parent company on the U.S. side, founded UOP in cooperation with Allied Signal Inc., and handed over its catalyst, adsorbent and processing system business, including the Molecular Sieves business, to the new Company. As a result, Union Showa is currently carrying out the Adsorbent and Molecular Sieves business as a member of UOP Group. Union Carbide = Dow Chemical (present company) **Allied Signal = Honeywell (present company)
