About Iwai Chemicals Co. Ltd

Iwai Chemicals Co. Ltd. was established in 1947 with the aim of producing and distributing high-purity reagents. For over 70 years, we have upheld “integrity” as the cornerstone of our management philosophy, understanding that only by earning our customers’ trust can we continue to innovate and grow.

Since our founding, remarkable advances have been made in the field of life science, particularly in molecular biology, genetic engineering, and immunology. We have secured our current position as an industry leader by anticipating the need for specialized reagents in these research areas and by compiling a comprehensive product line through partnerships with major manufacturers, both domestic and international. Furthermore, to cater to the diverse needs of companies, government agencies, universities, and research institutions, we have expanded our Technical, Marketing, and Planning division, produced our own antibodies, and introduced numerous services such as large-scale culturing and peptide/DNA synthesis. As the field of life science continues to evolve, so do we, always striving to identify new areas of potential development, anticipate customers’ needs, and remain at the forefront of research trends.
