TOYO Quality ONE Corporation

TOYO Quality ONE Corporation (TQ-1) is a Japanese manufacturer specializing in polyurethane foam (PUF) and other foam materials. Founded on November 15, 1935, the company is headquartered in Kawagoe, Saitama, where its main plant and research laboratory are located. It describes itself as Japan's only dedicated foam manufacturer, a positioning that underscores its focus on foam technology as its core competence. The company operates through two main business segments: the Vehicle Business, which supplies foam for automotive, railway, and aircraft bodies and interiors, and the Chemical Products Business, which provides foam for home appliances, interiors, health equipment, and consumer goods such as low-resilience pillows. TQ-1 also has an overseas business, with development and production sites in Japan, China, and Asia to serve international customers. TQ-1's product portfolio includes a range of specialized foams developed over decades. Notable developments include Airpita (ultra-low permeability sealing foam, 2003), Green Seal (functional sealing foam, 2000), Lucera DT (heat-resistant sealing foam, 2009), Abu Ace and Abu Jour (sound-absorbing and heat-resistant foams, 2014), Comfort Climate Foam (moisture-absorbing/releasing foam for bedding, 2014), Qualif (industry's lightest water-blocking foam, 2016), and mou-bio (biomass foam with over 60% biomass content, 2023). These materials serve automotive sealing, soundproofing, bedding, and industrial applications. The company is privately held. Its major shareholders include Mitsui Chemicals, Saitama Resona Bank, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, and Mitsui & Co. The current president is Toshiaki Seki. TQ-1 continues to invest in R&D, environmental initiatives, and overseas expansion, aiming to broaden the possibilities of foam and contribute to customers' businesses and people's lives.

TOYO Quality ONE Corporation was established on November 15, 1935, in Japan. Over its long history, the company has accumulated extensive technology and know-how, engaging in numerous research and development projects that were firsts in Japan and the world. It has evolved into Japan's only dedicated foam manufacturer, with polyurethane foam (PUF) at the core of its operations. The company has developed a wide range of innovative foam materials. In 2000, it developed Green Seal, a functional sealing foam with excellent water and air tightness. In 2003, it succeeded in developing Airpita, an ultra-low permeability sealing foam, using a new foaming technology that minimizes air permeability variation. In 2009, Lucera DT was introduced, featuring heat resistance and sealing properties. In 2014, the company launched several products: Comfort Climate Foam with high moisture absorption/release for bedding, Abu Ace with impact absorption and soundproofing, and Abu Jour with heat resistance and soundproofing for automotive engine rooms. In 2016, Qualif, the industry's lightest water-blocking foam, was developed. Most recently, in 2023, mou-bio was launched, a biomass foam achieving over 60% biomass content. TQ-1 has expanded its operations beyond Japan, establishing development bases and production plants in China and Asia to provide rapid and efficient development, manufacturing, transportation, and sales. The company continues to focus on new technology development, environmental initiatives, and overseas business expansion, pursuing the infinite possibilities of foam.
