GOO Chemical Co., Ltd. is a Japanese specialty chemicals manufacturer headquartered in Uji City, Kyoto Prefecture. Established in November 1953, the company focuses on the development and production of high-value-added functional materials based on advanced polymer chemistry and its proprietary "GOO technology."
Its core activities include the manufacture and sale of oiling agents and sizing agents for textiles, resins for the electronics industry such as etching resists, solder resists, plating resists, and inkjet materials used in printed circuit boards for automobiles and smartphones, as well as resins for cosmetics and other industrial applications including paper and metals. The company operates three factories in Japan: the headquarters and main facility in Uji (Kyoto), Fukui Factory, and Shiga Factory, employing around 200 people.
Following a 2022 tender offer and management buyout by GC Holdings Co., Ltd., GOO Chemical became a privately held subsidiary, delisting from the Tokyo Stock Exchange. It maintains a position in the specialty chemicals sector as a nimble provider of customized, high-performance materials that support advancements in electronics, personal care, and industrial manufacturing, with an emphasis on user-centric innovation and societal contribution.
Also known as Goo Kagaku Kogyo Kabushiki Kaisha.
