Mitsubishi Chemical Group

Innovating with chemistry for a sustainable future

Mitsubishi Chemical Europe, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Mitsubishi Chemical Group, is a global leader in the production of sustainable and highly developed chemical-based products. Headquartered in Düsseldorf, the company offers an extensive portfolio that includes performance polymers, carbon fiber and composites, polyester films, aluminum and metal composite sheets, and semiconductor solutions — serving a wide range of industries across Europe and beyond.

With origins tracing back to 1870, when founder Yataro Iwasaki began with just three steamships, Mitsubishi has evolved through generations into a world-renowned group of companies built on innovation, integrity, and excellence. Today, the Mitsubishi Chemical Group continues that legacy as a specialty materials company operating across four business fields: Performance Products, Chemicals, Industrial Gases, and Health Care.

Within its Specialty Polymers & Resins division, Mitsubishi Chemical stands as a global pioneer in the design, development, and manufacture of acrylic polymers and resins. Their specialty acrylic bead resins—crafted from polymers or copolymers of methyl methacrylate and other monomers—are tailored for high-performance coatings, inks, and adhesives.

Through brands such as Colacryl®, Dianal, Elvacite®, and Lucite®, Mitsubishi delivers advanced solutions for demanding applications in adhesives, additives & dispersants, castings & embedments, coatings, dental, glass interleavants, inks, medical, and porous moulds.
