Daikin America is dedicated to a corporate tradition of building long-term relationships with our customers and communities. Our parent company, Daikin Industries, Ltd., dates from 1924 when it was founded in Osaka, Japan to manufacture heat exchanger components. Our involvement with chemicals began in 1933 when we initiated research in fluorocarbon refrigerants. Through decades of rapid growth, we have become Japan's top-ranking producer of fluorochemicals including fluoropolymers and fluoroelastomers.
Today, Daikin's Chemical Division has earned a worldwide reputation for quality products. Beyond Japan, we have established major new production facilities in the U.S. and Belgium with branch offices around the world. This expansion, a result of our outstanding success and acceptance by the market, ensures the continuing globalization of Daikin.

Daikin's commitment to a role in the United States began as early as 1963 with the introduction of fluorochemicals to the U.S. market.

Commitment to a physical presence in the U.S. began in the early '90s with a $150 million initial investment in state-of-the-art HCFC-22, TFE and HFP monomer and PTFE manufacturing facilities in Decatur, Alabama. The next phase of our American presence was a $60 million expansion of the Decatur plant to manufacture FEP and ETFE in 1995. We then invested to manufacture Unidyne in 2000. All along, we have been expanding the capacity of the original investments. This expansion is a further significant sign of the depth of our commitment to a long-term presence in the United States.

Daikin is committed to good corporate citizenship, providing new employment opportunities at our various sites. The company also makes every effort to contribute materially to the well-being of all aspects of the communities in which we work and live.
