Our Value

World-Leading Carbon Fiber

We began producing TORAYCA™ PAN-based carbon fiber in 1971, and it has since become recognized as the de facto standard for technical excellence and quality for carbon fiber across aerospace, sporting goods, motorsport and industrial applications.

TORAYCA™ carbon fiber exhibits exceptional mechanical properties, excellent processability and is available across the globe from a secure and stable supply chain.

A Comprehensive Range of Products and Vertical Integration

We supply the most comprehensive range of carbon fiber materials on the market, covering a range of products from high-performance premium fiber for aircraft applications to the cost-competitive large tow, large volume fiber produced by our subsidiary ZOLTEK. Our capabilities also include fabric, prepregs and intermediary materials thanks to strategic investments in technology and processing capabilities. Our prepreg technology spans both thermoset and thermoplastic chemistries, strengthened by our acquisition of TenCate Advanced Composites in 2018 (which changed its name to Toray Advanced Composites in 2019). Additionally, we provide customized and tailored material solutions by working in partnership with our customers, to ensure the right solution for the job and to support the advancement of composite materials in the market.

Global Operations / Local Support

We manufacture TORAYCA™ carbon fiber globally in Japan, Korea, France and the USA, ensuring a stable supply and responsive deliveries based on local operations. Intermediate material production sites have also been established across Asia, Europe and America, ensuring full, vertically integrated supply chains on a local level.

R&D Technology Centers Across the World

We have Composite Materials Research Laboratories in Japan, USA, France, and the Netherlands, four locations across the world to support our global customers, providing technical services and full composite solutions. The laboratories can conduct a variety of research activities ranging from proof-of-concept to production, including advanced prototyping, material system development, and advanced material characterizations.

Creating New Value and a Sustainable Future Through Technology and Collaboration

Harnessing technical knowledge and expertise gained through for 50 years in the composites industry, we continue to support and invest in the progression of composite material technology together with our customers, industry partners and technology institutes. Our in-house technical expertise across the composite value chain, and our extensive technology portfolio across thermoplastic and thermoset technologies foster workable innovations across the composite material supply chain.
