Our director and COO Masatake Haruta passed away on Tuesday, January 25, 2022. We would like to express our deepest gratitude to you for your kindness during his lifetime.

In view of the recent situation, funerals already have been held only by close relatives, and obituary is notified after the memorial service.

The origin of our founding is that Dr. Masatake Haruta discovered the catalytic activity of gold nanoparticles for the first time in the world in 1982. We will continue to carry on the will of the deceased and make every effort to put the gold catalyst to practical use. We ask for your continued guidance and encouragement.
