Background

Taiheiyo Cement Corporation ("Pacific Ocean Cement Corporation") (太平洋セメント株式会社, Taiheiyō Semento Kabushiki-gaisha) is a Japanese cement company, formed in 1998 with the merger of Chichibu Onoda (itself a merger of Chichibu Cement and Onoda Cement) and Nihon Cement (formerly Asano Cement).[1]

The Omi plant was established by Denka in 1921 and started manufacturing carbide. The cement production began in 1954.[2] In 2022, Taiheiyo Cement agreed to buy the cement business of chemicals company Denka. Denka operates the Omi integrated plant in Itoigawa City, Niigata Prefecture.[3]
