We will support lives of people through supply of Iodine, which is Japan's world-class natural resource.

Thank you for accessing our website.

On January 1, 2022, K&O Iodine Co., Ltd. (formerly known as Nihon Tennen Gas Co., Ltd.) made a fresh start as a manufacturer of iodine and iodine compounds, following an integration of iodine businesses in K&O Energy Group Inc.

Iodine, the core of our business, is precious natural resource that Japan produces about 30% of the world production. Iodine, essential element to life, has wide range of application such as X-ray contrast media, disinfectants, polarizing film, etc., and its market is steadily growing. Through the business integration, we have become an iodine manufacturer that accounts for about 5% of the world production. We will continue to grow together with the market expansion.

We look forward to your continuous support and cooperation.
