DIC's Global Network
Extensive Global Network
DIC has 171 group companies in 62 countries and territories worldwide. (As of December31, 2024)
DIC was one of the first Japanese printing ink manufacturers to establish a presence in other parts of Asia. In 1986, Sun Chemical Corp., a leading manufacturer of printing inks, joined the DIC Group. Since then, additional acquisition-including the Coates Group (the inks division of France's Totalfina S.A.) in 1999- have reinforced DIC's position as one of the world's preeminent fine chemicals companies. At present, DIC is focusing its expansion efforts on promising growth markets in Asia to strengthen core businesses, and is also establishing a presence in such emerging markets as Central and Eastern Europe, South America and the Middle East.
Operating Sites
The DIC Group has operating sites all over the world including the PRC, Asia Pacific, Europe and the Americas besides Japan where the DIC HQ is located.

Regional headquarters company introduction
Initiatives Aimed at Enhancing Corporate Value by Providing Value to Customers
Sun Chemical’s (The Americas and Europe) Activities
We want our customers and employees to “Experience.Transformation.” and continue striving to enhance both our reputation for excellence in the market and our business results.
Sun Chemical, which oversees DIC Group operations in the Americas and Europe, is transforming itself to provide global leadership in the development of packaging solutions. Specifically, we are working across four elements—brand evolution, efficiency, risk mitigation and sustainability—to provide customers with a balanced perspective across our packaging and graphics business portfolio. By defining and differentiating our brands to generate value, we will drive productivity to create a competitive advantage across our service offerings.
DIC Asia Pacific’s Activities
Leading the market by becoming a one-stop provider of products and services based on the concept of sustainability
DIC Asia Pacific, which is responsible for DIC Group operations in the Asia–Pacific region, is actively advancing the establishment of a more structured, process-oriented organizational model. This prioritizes shifting to the cost-to-serve model, aimed at mitigating inefficiencies within existing processes. To accommodate this, we are also transitioning from a conventional sales and marketing approach to a solutions-based methodology in this region.
DIC (China)’s Activities
By focusing on ensuring a balance between growth and efficiency, we are striving to increase our value to the DIC Group.
With the objective of transforming DIC (China) into a provider of solutions in Greater China that emphasizes manufacturing products that sell—i.e., that deliver the value our customers seek—rather than simply on selling the products we manufacture, we recognize the importance of securing a position close to end users from which we can directly respond to social imperatives, allowing us to offer solutions that address challenges further downstream.
