-Our Motto
We make an original idea and technique a strength.
We develop few high value-added products all over the world.

President: Takashi Inoue
Establishment: June 1884
Capital: 20million
Outline of Business
(Medicine, reagent relations) Sale of high purity calcium oxide/calcium hydroxide, (Agriculture)Production sale of manure and the pesticide, Seed and sapling sale of the original upbringing kind, (Wire drawing)Production sale of the treatment agent for wire drawing, (Rubber, resin relations)Compound active hydrozincite, dehydrating agent for Rubber/resin, Production sale of high purity calcium hydroxide/ calcium oxide

Based on limestone of Kochi, we contribute to the market with a differentiation product

Kochi is known as a production center of the high quality and purity limestone.Inoue Calcium corporation produces high value-added products unlike the others based on calcium and metal oxide purified by this limestone. We reclaim the original market, and a few product is developed by the other companies. We establish a high share, and and we are the niche top company of this prefecture.

Feelings to the lime which is machined high purity by the special manufacturing method

Normally, industrial lime is made by mass firing by using heavy oil for fuel. However, we burn in small quantities, and impurities are removed on this occasion by adding salt. Because we select it carefully and produce it, purity is high, and it is with lime having the most suitable particle size, activity, a crystal type, fluidity, dispersibility. Therefore of course you can use it for food, an agriculture product and industrial products in peace

We distribute it and offer high value-added products in three fields

We distribute mainly in the field of vehicle industry, agricultural industry, and fine chemical Industry.

We make the additive agent used for making the industrial rubber and resin for doors, a trunk, and an engine hood for vehicles. It is used for all domestic car manufacturers, overseas luxury model, and the domestic share is 70-80%. An opportunity of the development is the 50, Showa generation. As the performance of the car rose rapidly, the calorific value of car in itself increased. We paid our attention to a problem that a rubber part and resin deteriorated having occurred. We repeated the development of a medicine which held deterioration in check, and we made a market patiently. That caused a high share of our company nowadays.

Name of the product: "META-Z" series 4 grades

When you make industrial rubber part and resin, add active zinc white calcium compound, which is compound article of calcium carbonate and zinc oxide, and it helps to make the durable product. It is manufactured now in the other companies, but the quality of our product is recognized, and we achieved a domestic number one share.

Name of the product "VESTA" series 4 grades

In an industrial rubber part, process of manufacture of the resin, dehydrating agent which prevents the air bubbles which occur when you added heat. Use it with "NETA-Z" at the same time.

Name of the product: "NICC" series 4series

Calcium hydroxide for special elastomer. The medicine which raises the durability of a rubber part and the resin used for a special apparatus giving off the super high temperature including the space shuttle.

We manufacture the pesticide called "IC Bordeaux" of the Japanese Agricultural Standard organic farming conformity that was improved from the pesticide "bordeaux mixture" which is used all over the world since it was born as a sterilizer of the crops in France in 1884. In addition, in cooperation with a breeder, we go into developing new varieties of plants business of farm products having high brand power, and we contribute to the country and development of the agriculture of Asia including Kochi

Name of the product: "IC Bordeaux"

The naturalism pesticide "bordeaux mixture" which has been used for 100 years or more since it enhances the sterilization effect on pathogen, and there is the function of that the resistance makes strong pest. Moreover, It shows an effect for the overwhelming various kinds of crops, blight. However, the conventional bordeaux mixture was made by calcium oxide, which was heated and cooled for twenty-four hours, mixed with the copper sulfate liquid which we dissolved and handcrafted. So it is "time-consuming", "combination is difficult", "it cannot be made ahead in the property of the material", "it can be clogged". We made this into a paste form, and made "IC Bordeaux" which you only dilute with water. The durability of the effect is high, low cost, and there is not a limit of the dispersion number of times in the crop days because it is made from natural material. Moreover, it meets "Japanese Agricultural Standard organic farming".

Name of the product: "Sweetia"(mini tomato)
1pack net 200g, 1 box net 500g, 1 box net 1kg, 1box net 5kg, sold at each Sunshines in Kochi prefecture.

"Is it possible to make the crops, which has high brand power, using a comfortable climate in Kochi?". "We want to make the crops that a farming family can secure stable income". These are the motives of developing the mini tomatoes in cooperation with a breeder in-house. We restrain the tension of the root by isolation cultivation using a planter and a container, and It can limit nourishment and the water of the soil, too. Thus, we can condense taste and nutrition. Rare form of the tears type, flesh of fruit is thick, and a sugar content is high, and the sweetness is plentiful, too. It is a good point that there are more lycopene and folic acid than a general big ball tomato and a mini-tomato. It is adopted for an agriculture revival project of "China, Sichuan earthquake" generated in 2008, and business is decided with the major department store and trading company of Osaka and Tokyo.

The field of fine chemical and other

We make use of a characteristic of the "high purity" "ultrafine" "most suitable activity" lime and make medicine, a reagent, food which are in the direct mouth and the a product utilized to chemical fiber.

"Medicine, trial medical use high purity calcium"
High purity calcium which is added in medicine and a supplement.

"High purity calcium for food additives"
Calcium reinforcing structure of sports drinks and dairy products. It is used as a coagulating agent of the konjac.

"High purity calcium for fine chemical"
When polymerization of high efficiency resin and the high-performance fiber(Phenomenon that a molecular compound is connected and produces a different compound) occurs, it is used as the calcium product which controlled purity, particle size, activity ideally. In addition, it is used to electronic materials use.

We determine a strategy only in the company, and there is the existence of the leader in hope of the happiness of a customer and the employee.

"There are 3 of the future prospects of the company." says the president Inoue. First is to extend the sales amount ratio in the overseas market that you got more until now. Not to mention American and European countries, it becomes important to the Asian rising nation that we find means of escape. Second is that we use our expertise and reclaim the new niche market, and developing low cost, the new product which you can differentiate from a major company of the mass production more. Third is that we improve a communication power with the technology of the employee and to raise collective strength. "Is me after the first generation founds us as a personal store; the sixth generation. The acquaintance with the business partner has many people who are taken care of with the whole family for many years. Even if it is a business, it is a relationship of mutual trust with a person and the person. There are many products which a visitor gives a hint to the product of our company and developed". Up to a customer and an employee, the family, it is an aim to be a company having all people supporting the company find the significance of being. If there is such a leader who I take good care of a customer, and yearns for the employee, there is a further leap of the company.
