DIC's Global Network
Extensive Global Network
DIC has 163 group companies in 62 countries and territories worldwide. (As of December 31, 2025)
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.
