Message from the President

We strive to raise customer satisfaction by providing products and services of consistent quality as well as developing new technologies that meet ever-changing market needs.

Our company has over 100 years of history, going back to the establishment of an enamelware factory in Ikebukuro, Tokyo in 1923. We were the first in Japan to successfully develop and start manufacturing and selling large-scale acid-resistant equipment, what is now called glass-lined chemical equipment, which had been a long-standing need of the chemical industry.

In September 1968, we formed a business partnership with NGK Insulators, Ltd. (NGK) and, as a member of the NGK Insulators group, we have achieved growth by establishing solid corporate structure and conducting our own technological development and product improvements.

In August 1989, in order to meet our customers' increasing needs, we established the sales and maintenance service company NGK Chemitech, Ltd. (NCT) through a joint investment with NGK.

In April 2020, Ikebukuro Horo Kogyo Co., Ltd. and NGK Chemitech Co., Ltd. merged and renamed as 'NGK Chemitech, Ltd.' (NGK Chemitech, NCT) and making a fresh start as a comprehensive corrosion-resistant equipment product manufacturing and sales company engaged in the design, sales, and maintenance of corrosion-resistant pumps and valve products utilizing NGK Insulators' ceramics technology, in addition to glass-lined products.

Based on the long-standing accumulation of experience and technology in glass lining products, ceramic pumps, and valve products, we continuously work on quality improvements of our 'products' and 'after-sales services' and keep challenging in the development of new technologies and new products that meet the changing needs of the market, working to solve our customers' challenges and create new values.
